March 10, 2018 | Lacrosse
SAN DIEGO, Calif. – The Boston College lacrosse team secured their ninth straight victory, producing the second longest win streak in program history, after downing San Diego State, 19-8, to close out its time in California.
Â
Junior Sam Apuzzo scored less than two minutes into the opening half, sparking four other unanswered goals from the Eagles (8-0, 1-0), while the BC defense held San Diego State (5-3, 0-0) to only three first-half goals.

Coming out of the break already on a 9-3 advantage, the Eagles held the lead for the remainder of the game, though the Aztec offense brought more heat during the second portion of the game.

Handing the Aztecs their first home loss on the season, junior goalkeep Lauren Daly tied her career high with nine saves.
