BC HIGHLIGHTS AND GAME NOTES

Tess Chandler and Sarah Mannelly each recorded four points as Boston College defeated the Bulldogs of Yale, 15-11, Wednesday afternoon at Reiss Stadium in New Haven, Conn.
Following Wednesday's victory, the Eagles move to 4-10 all-time in the series and have now won the last three games against the Bulldogs dating back to 2011. The maroon and gold improve to 7-5 overall while they move to 6-1 in non-conference play.
With four points, Sarah Mannelly moved into fourth place in program history for career points with 223, surpassing Mikaela Rix's 222 point total set between 2012-15. The New Canaan, Conn. native had previously passed Kristin Igoe for fifth place in the team's loss to Virginia on April 2.
In her 50th game as an Eagle, junior Tess Chandler notched her 50th career goal, becoming the third player on the current roster to amass that career total mark.
Kate Weeks continues to lead the Eagles with eight multi-goal games following her three-goal performance Wednesday. The Princeton, N.J. native has now scored three-plus goals in three straight games, all of which she has started.
Sophomore Emma Schurr made her first career start Wednesday after playing in a total of 29 games over her first two seasons off the bench for the Eagles. With two tallies, Emma set a new career best for goals in a game.
Elizabeth Miller recorded her first collegiate goal with 14:16 remaining in the first half.
Senior captain Molly Erdle netted her first goal of the season and third of her career on a free position shot near the midway point of the second half while Kenzie Kent had her second straight game with a team-high five draw controls.

TURNING POINT

Trailing 1-0 in the first minute of the game, the Eagles took advantage of their first possession by recording the first of six-straight goals to quickly take the lead. The Eagles kept a lead of at least three goals for the remainder of the game.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Kate Weeks got the Eagles on the board to tie the score with her 21st of the season a mere 10 seconds after Yale opening up the game with a goal of their own.
Mannelly, E. Schurr (twice), Elizabeth Miller and Caroline Margolis netted the net spring of goals for BC to push the Eagles lead to 6-1 with 10:42 remaining in the first half.
After Yale got a pair of goals back, it was Weeks again to net her second of the game as BC went into halftime with a 7-4 lead.
The maroon and gold opened the second half with a pair of goals from Tess Chandler and Caroline Margolis to extend the lead to 9-4.
The two teams would exchange goals the remainder of the second half. After Yale cut into the deficit with two straight goals, BC responded with a Mannelly goal on an assist from Margolis.
When Yale scored again, Chandler had back-to-back unassisted goals less than two minutes apart to push the BC lead back to five, 12-7.
Molly Erdle would record her first goal of the season and Brooke Troy her second before Weeks finished the scoring as BC was victorious, 15-11, Wednesday afternoon in New Haven.
