February 10, 2018 | Lacrosse
Senior captain Kaileen Hart produced a game-high five points to boost the Eagles to victory
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – The No. 6 Boston College lacrosse team managed many firsts in its first victory of the season over No. 15 Notre Dame, 13-11, Saturday afternoon in South Bend.
The Irish (0-1, 0-1 ACC) took the first two goals of the game, but the Eagles (1-0, 1-0 ACC) answered immediately for a 2-2 tie. There was no clear command of the game during the first half, but after a 5-0 run in the second half, the Maroon and Gold win was sealed.
Starting goalie junior Lauren Daly registered six saves while ND's Samantha Giacolone notched 13 saves.

- Hart scored the Eagle's final goal in the remaining time, and though the Irish had four goals in the final five minutes, it was not enough.
