Junior Amelie Wulff's successful penalty stroke with 24:35 remaining in the game proved to be the winner as the 14th-ranked Boston College field hockey team defeated #16 Boston University, 1-0, at Alumni Stadium. Goalkeeper Jill Dedman made five saves in the win for her third shutout of the season.
The Eagles allowed the Terriers only five shots on goal in the game, including one in the second half. Boston College also held the advantage in penalty corners, 8-2.
