CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – In a battle of top-10 teams, the third-ranked Boston College lacrosse team claimed its first-ever win at Klockner Stadium with a 15-12 victory at No. 7 Virginia on Saturday afternoon to remain perfect on the season and push its program-record winning streak to 13 games.
Three Eagles – Dempsey Arsenault, Tess Chandler and Kaileen Hart – netted hat tricks as the Eagles won their first road game ever in Charlottesville and claimed a second straight win over UVA for the first time ever.
Less than 10 minutes into the first half, Boston College (13-0, 4-0 ACC) trailed 4-1, but five straight goals gave the Eagles a 6-4 lead with 9:32 to go in the period. Virginia (8-3, 3-2 ACC) scored twice more in the next three minutes, but both teams were held off the board in the final six minutes of the stanza and the teams went into the break knotted at 6-6.
BC extended its lead to 8-6 in the second before UVA's Chloe Jones snapped the Cavaliers' almost 17:00 scoreless draught to cut the lead to 8-7 with 19:33 to go. The Eagles responded with a 6-1 run – behind six different goal scorers – to put the game out of reach at 14-8 with 4:30 remaining. Virginia's Chloe Mueller netted three straight goals in 1:35 to cut the BC lead to 14-11, but the teams traded goals inside the final 1:32 as the Eagles came away with the win.
BC goalkeeper Lauren Daly made seven saves in the win, while UVA starter Rachel Vander Kolk made one save in 16:33 of starting action before giving way to Charlie Campbell, who stopped five shots in 42:48 of action to close the game.
