ABOUT BOSTON COLLEGE
- BC is currently 6-0-1 in non-conference action.
- Boston College will open up ACC play on Sunday, Sept. 18 at Duke. The game will be aired on WatchESPN.
- The Eagles scoring offense is currently nine in the country and third in the ACC (3.0). The team is also 12th in the country and third in the ACC in total points per game.
- McKenzie Meehan is 40th in the country in points per game, 30th in goals per game and sixth in total goals. Freshman Jenna Bike is 13th in the country in assists while r-sophomore Alexis Bryant is 24th in goals-against-average (0.34).

LAST TIME OUT
- Junior Lauren Berman had a goal and assist in the Eagles, 3-0, victory over Harvard. Berman set up the first goal on a beautiful ball over the defense to McKenzie Meehan for her 52nd career goal. In almost the same fashion, junior defender Madison Kenny sent rookie Olivia Vaughn in alone for her second goal of the season and a 2-0 lead. Berman ended the scoring on her third goal of the year. Alexis Bryant kept the Harvard offense out of the scoring column when she snuffed out a penalty kick in the 80th minute of play. BC now leads the overall series against Harvard, 10-4-2.
