Boston, Mass. -- The Boston College softball team posted a 1-0 shutout over cross-town rival Boston University Thursday at B.U. Softball Field. The win halted BU's 12-game win streak, including six straight shutouts. With the victory, Boston College improves to 25-14 overall.
Boston College scored all it would need in the top half of the first inning, scoring a single run that would stand for the remainder of the game. With one out, Jen Asbury (Livermore, Calif.) reached on a throwing error by Tiffany Finateri. Cara Blumfield (West Hills, Calif.) followed with a single through the left side. With two outs, Erin Mackey (River Forest, Ill.) doubled to left center, scoring Asbury.
Kim Ryan (Bay Shore, N.Y.) pitched the complete-game win for the Eagles. She collected 15 strikeouts on the afternoon, allowing just four hits and two walks. Ryan improves to 12-3 overall and has won her last 10 games.
