CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - No. 20 Boston College (5-6, 1-3) fell, 12-10, to No. 9 Virginia after the Cavaliers mounted a late comeback in an ACC matchup on Saturday afternoon at Klockner Stadium.
Grad student Kristin Igoe and junior Brooke Blue led the offensive effort for BC, as each tallied a hat trick in the outing. Igoe also added an assist for a game-high four points. Freshman Mikaela Rix recorded two goals of her own, while freshman Covie Stanwick and senior Sam Taylor registered one apiece to round out the goal scorers for Boston College.
The Eagles played aggressively, outshooting the Cavaliers, 23-19. BC also scooped up more ground balls (11-10), controlled more draws (17-7) and caused more turnovers (6-4) on the day.
BC took an early, 2-0 lead with goals from Igoe and Stanwick. Sloan Warren put the Cavaliers on the board, but Blue quickly tallied back-to-back goals and Igoe added her second score of the day to give the Eagles a 5-1 advantage with 17:11 left to play in the first.
The Cavaliers scored three-straight goals to pull within one, but Rix found the back of the net with less than a minute left in the half to send the Eagles to the locker room up, 6-4.
BC outscored UVA, 2-1, in the first five minutes of the second half to take an 8-5 advantage. The Cavaliers' Josie Owen scored on a free-position shot to spark a 5-0 Virginia run, giving the Cavs their first lead of the game, up 10-8 with 10:49 remaining.
The teams traded two goals apiece in the final minutes of the game, as UVA kept BC from regaining a lead to take a 12-10 victory.
Boston College returns to action on Wednesday, April 4 when the squad hosts Vermont at 4 p.m.
