Goss and DeJarld secured double-doubles on the night
CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Junior McKenna Goss and sophomore Jane DeJarld record double-doubles as Boston College volleyball fell to Miami in Coral Gables on Thursday night.
After a first-set stumble, the Eagles took the following two sets, 25-22, 27-17, with their victory in the third set slating the largest lead for any of the set. Unable to hold the Hurricanes, the Eagles fell in a very close fourth, 25-23, and ultimately fell in the fifth, 15-11, finalizing the win for Miami.
Goss and graduate Lynn Braakhuis led the match in kills – Goss registered 19 on the night and Braakhuis notched 13. Goss' double-double was sealed with 12 digs on the night, while DeJarld's included team-high 42 assists and 16 digs. Sophomore Jill Strockis tallied another match high on the night with her 17 digs.
Miami was paced by Olga Strantzali's 12 kills and 16 digs and Haley Templeton's match-high 43 assists.
