Chestnut Hill, Mass. - The Eagles dropped a tough conference match to a strong North Carolina team on Sunday, 3-1. The Tarheels, who are currently second in the ACC, eventually overpowered a scrappy BC team, 30-20, 31-33, 30-27 and 30-28. The Eagles drop to 6-15 overall and 1-11 in conference play.
Despite the loss, the Eagles had several solid performances from their players. Abigail Hasebroock had a match-high 21 kills. This was a season-best and career-best for the sophomore middle blocker. Hasebroock also had a match-high eight blocks which was also a season and career-high for her. Hasebroock hit .313 for the match.
Junior co-captain Allison Anderson recorded a match-high 32 digs for the Eagles. Senior setter and co-captain, Verena Rost, led both teams with a match-high 46 assists. Rost also put down five kills and came up with four digs and two blocks.
Also putting up key numbers was junior Morgan Woodcock who had 10 kills, three digs and three blocks for the match. Alison Shepp came off the bench to put up big numbers for BC. In only two games played, she had five kills, a .556 hitting percentage, two digs and one served ace.
Sophomore Kelsey Johnson was as solid as ever with nine kills, 10 digs and one block.
After dropping the first game 30-20, the Eagles came roaring back into the second game and took the game, 33-31 after battling back and forth throughout the entire game.
In the third game, BC came out strong but the Tarheels were relentless and went on a 6-0 run to bring the score to 27-20. Although BC would battle for their next seven points, North Carolina would not be overcome and took the third game.
The fourth game was more back and forth play between the two teams. The Eagles led at 26-25 in the game but the Tarheels would eventually pull away and take the game and the match 30-28.
Despite the loss the Eagles look to build on their strong showing against the Tarheels as they go on the road next weekend to take on conference opponents Florida State and Miami on Oct. 28 and Oct. 30.
