September 08, 2017 | Volleyball

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Sophomore Cat Balido's match-high 13 kills set the pace for the Eagles, who fell to Temple, 3-0, in Philadelphia Friday evening. Despite Boston College volleyball finding the lead in each of the three sets, Temple managed the win.
Balido also added a service ace the Eagles' six total aces. Lynn Braakhuis registered three aces as well as matching Jill Strockis for team-high nine digs.
