Boston, Mass. - The 13th-ranked Boston College field hockey team was blanked by cross-town rival and 12th-ranked Northeastern, 4-0 Wednesday afternoon at Sweeney Field on the campus of Northeastern University. With the loss, the Eagles fall to 5-2 overall. The Terriers improve to a perfect 5-0.
Northeastern took command of the game early on, forcing three quick penalty corners in the first four minutes of play. One of those corner plays materialized into what would stand as the game winning goal. Mari Creatini scored at the 31:06 mark for the game winner. Senior Fior Arrindell scored twice, including once on the penalty corner play, to power Northeastern to victory.
Boston College mustered eight shots but could not connect. The Eagles also amassed five corners, none of which produced a goal. BC goalkeeper Lauren Hill (Bethesda, Md.) collected eight saves on the afternoon.
Boston College will next return home for a 1:00 tilt against Vermont on September 21.
