(CHESTNUT HILL, Mass.) The UNB Varsity Reds dropped a 4-2 decision to the NCAA's No. 13 ranked Boston College Eagles on Saturday.

The Eagles scored 3:14 into the first period and never surrendered the lead.

Boston College built a 3-0 lead before Chris Caissy(Campbellton, NB) got the Varsity Reds on the scoreboard.

With UNB working a 5-on-3 man advantage, Cam Brace(Etobicoke, ON) set up Caissy's one-timer.

Chris Clapperton(Cap Espoir, QC) added a goal with less than five minutes to play to make it 4-2, but that's as close as UNB would get.

The Varsity Reds held the Boston College power-play off the scoresheet. The Eagles were 0-for-4 with the man advantage.

UNB outshot BC 36-22.

The Varsity Reds now return home for their Atlantic University Sport regular season opener.
