CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Senior Kendall Coyne scored her 50th goal of the season but the No. 6 Northeastern women's hockey team (28-9-1) had its historic 2015-16 season come to an end in the NCAA quarterfinals in a 5-1 loss to No. 1 Boston College (39-0-0) before a crowd of 1,077 at Conte Forum on Saturday.

Coyne lit the lamp on the power play with 1:40 remaining in the third period to join Vicky Sunohara (51 goals in 1988-89) as the only two players in program history to score 50 or more goals in a year. 

Freshman netminder Brittany Bugalski turned aside 33 shots and earned her second assist of the season with a helper on Coyne's goal. 

Goal Recaps
• Boston College took the lead just 50 seconds into the first period when Megan Keller swatted home a loose puck at the left of the net after Bugalski had made the initial save on Alex Carpenter. 
• The Eagles scored again in similar fashion late in the first period when Tori Sullivan poked a rebound through the pads of Bugalski at the 16:54 mark. 
• BC grabbed a 3-0 lead at 12:51 of the second period when Carpenter found Haley Skarupa on the rush for a shot from between the circles that found its way home. 
• Sullivan potted her second of the day when she followed a shot by Meghan Grieves and wristed a shot over the glove of Bugalski 1:54 into the third period.
• After an empty-net goal made it 5-0 with 2:14 to play, Coyne put the Huskies on the board after taking an outlet pass from Hayley Scamurra, carrying the puck through the neutral zone, and sniping a shot over the shoulder of Katie Burt (21 saves) from the left circle. 

Stats of the Game
• Coyne netted her 50th goal of the season to become the second Division I women's player since the year 2000 to reach the half-century mark. Harvard's Nicole Corriero scored 59 in 2004-05.
• Coyne is the second player in program history to score 50 or more in a season, joining Vicky Sunohara (51 goals in 1988-89). 
• The power-play goal was the first allowed by BC in a non-conference game this season.
• The Huskies killed off all six BC power plays.
• The Eagles held a 38-23 advantage in shots on goal.
• With the win, BC advanced to the Frozen Four, where the Eagles will face Clarkson next weekend.

Looking Back
Capped by a trip to its first-ever NCAA tournament, Northeastern completed one of its most successful seasons in program history with a 28-9-1 overall record. The Huskies set a single-season program record for wins in a year and also secured their largest season-to-season turnaround in program history with 14 more victories in 2015-16 than in 2014-15.
