It seemed statistically improbable that they had this undefeated season going, climaxing with the away-from-home W over UNC, then lost the next three. To see if it was due to an injury to a key player, I checked the box scores. The only names I knew to look for were DeMartino, Mewis, and GK Mastroianni, and they're all still starting and credited with most of the goals and saves. All 3 games (like the W over UNC) were won by one goal; one of them in OT and one of them off of a corner with 10 seconds left. And fairly even numbers of shots, with advantage to BC.

I conclude they had a run of bad luck, and are still one of the handful of elite teams.
