The Boston College volleyball team fell to Virginia Tech, 3-0, Friday night in Blacksburg, Va. Junior outside hitter Tsvetelina Dureva led BC with 12 kills on .265 hitting percentage and eight, while classmate Brennan Clark led all players with 14 digs at libero and sophomore middle hitter Krystle Higgins posted a match-high three blocks.
Jennifer Wiker recorded 13 kills on .385 attack percentage, adding two blocks and Justine Record had eight kills (.381 pct.) and nine digs to charge Virginia Tech (16-8, 7-7 ACC) to the win, 25-16, 25-18, 25-14.
Freshman Cagla Sen had a team-high 28 assists for the Eagles.
The two sides traded points to sevens to begin the match, with points for the Eagles coming from a block by Higgins, a kill and ace from Dureva and four Hokie errors. Virginia Tech then took a four point lead, prompting a BC timeout.
After the break, Dureva added two more kills, but the Hokies extended their lead to seven, 16-9, forcing another Eagle timeout. Freshman Melissa McTighe and senior Rainey Hanley would both contribute kills for Boston College, but Tech pulled away for the win, 25-16.
The Hokies started the second with a five point run, but a kill from McTighe and a combination block by Higgins and Sen scored two points for BC. After Tech added another point, the Eagles would add two more on a kill from Dureva and an ace by Sen.
As Virginia Tech pushed the score to 17-10, Boston College relied on Hanley for a pair of kills and Hokie errors to add to its tally. From there, the Eagles went point-for-point with the Hokies, who took game two, 25-18.
In the third, Boston College fell behind 13-3 before calling timeout. Out of the break, a kill from sophomore Val Mattaliano, a combined block by freshmen Alexandra Trobbe and McTighe and Dureva gave BC momentum, but Virginia Tech continued on for the win, 25-14.
The Eagles will continue conference play against Virginia at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 6.
