Braakhuis, Goss Register Double-Digit Kills in Sweep of Wake Forest
November 19, 2017 | Volleyball
Eagles snap five-match skid with win on Senior Day.
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Behind graduate student Lynn Braakhuis' and junior McKenna Goss' performances on Senior Day on the Heights, Boston College flew to a straight-sets victory over Wake Forest Sunday afternoon in Power Gym.
The Eagles trailed early in the first set, but recovered to edge out an early match advantage with a 25-22 triumph in the opening frame. From there, Boston College powered to another victory in the second set, 25-15, and fended off a late Wake Forest comeback to win the third and final set, 25-20, and the match, 3-0.
Braakhuis and Goss were the kill leaders on the day for the Eagles, with 12 and 11, respectively. Sophie West was also impressive, finishing with a match-high in hitting percentage with .417, and eight kills of her own. On defense, Goss was again impressive, grabbing 11 digs, the fourth time she has registered double-digit digs this season. Jill Strockis matched Goss and Wake's Hailey McFadden in the digs column with 11 of her own, which was the match high.

The Eagles fell into an early deficit, at most trailing the Demon Deacons by five points. However, Boston College embarked on a 6-0 run to take a 19-18 lead and never turned back. A service ace from Goss sealed the 25-22 first-set victory.

SET 3
The Demon Deacons took the early lead, but the Eagles quickly retaliated for a 7-5 lead. The set continued on and featured plenty of back-and-forth volleyball, but the Eagles, who led by as many as seven points in the frame, held off the Wake comeback to prevail, 25-20.
