March 23, 2018 | Softball
Freshman CC Cook finished five-for-five on the day with two triples
NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. – The Boston College softball team defeated Virginia, 8-0, in five innings behind a perfect game by senior Jessica Dreswick in game one. The Eagles came back in the second game of the day to defeat the Cavaliers 10-6 and earn their first two ACC wins of the 2018 campaign.

A bases-clearing triple by senior Annie Murphy followed by a double by freshman Cami Sellers put the Maroon and Gold up 5-0. The Eagles would tack on three more runs over the next three innings to run-rule the Cavaliers. Dreswick held Virginia hitless and did not allow any walks in her perfect-game performance to secure the shutout victory for the Eagles.
Â
The two teams battled back and forth in the second game of the day, each taking turns holding the lead. After loading the bases in the fifth inning, the Eagles scored two runs on a walk and a fielder's choice to take a lead that they would hold for the remainder of the game. A triple by freshman CC Cook in the sixth followed by a pair of singles by Chimento and sophomore Olivia Markopoulos and a double by senior Chloe Sharabba helped BC claim a 10-6 victory and improve to 2-3 in the conference.Â
Cook was perfect at the plate on the day as she finished five-for-five with two triples, a team-leading six runs scored, one RBI and two walks.
