November 17, 2017 | Volleyball
DeJarld registers third straight double-double
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Sophomore Sophie West produced her new season high single match hitting record, hitting .625 as Boston College volleyball fell to Duke, 3-1, Friday evening in Chestnut Hill.
Duke took the first set quickly, 25-15, after utilizing runs to pull ahead, but the Eagles found their fight in the second set thanks to an early 7-1 run. Though they fell in the second frame, 25-20, they found another early lead in the third game, then a 7-1 run to jump out to match point. BC took the third 25-18, but could not overcome a 7-0 run Duke had in the fourth and ultimately fell.
Graduate Lynn Braakhuis led the Eagles with 11 kills, followed by senior Sol Calvete and junior McKenna Goss with nine kills apiece. Sophomore Jill Strockis had team-high 13 digs on the night, but sophomore Jane DeJarld's 11 digs added to her match-high 28 digs for her third straight double-double. West's .625 attack percentage led the match.
Duke was paced by Cadie Bates with 16 kills on the night, while Nicole Elattrache registered 19 digs.
