The field hockey team looks to bounce back after tough loss at Louisville

By: Athletic Communications

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass.: The No. 9 Boston College field hockey team begins an action-packed week as they travel to neighbor Northeastern for a regular non-conference matchup Tuesday at 6 p.m. The Eagles and Huskies have battled annually, dating back to before 1999. The Eagles have a 16-5 winning record since then and have won five of their last six meetings.

The Eagles are coming off of a tough loss at No. 8 Louisville where they fell 1-0 as regulation expired. Louisville secured the win off of a penalty corner with no time remaining. Although no Eagles added points to their seasons, graduate student Brooke Matherson leads the team with three goals and two assists for eight points. Senior captain Frederique Haverhals and sophomore Fusine Govaert each have three goals and one assist for seven points, following closely behind Matherson.

Northeastern is 2-4 overall so far in 2018. Their most recent contest saw a 3-2 win over Columbia on the road. June Curry-Lindahl leads the Huskies with six goals and one assist for 11 points so far.

The Eagles are coming up on three games within six days as they return to Newton for a home weekend, facing conference opponent Virginia on Friday at 6 p.m. and regional rival New Hampshire on Sunday at 1 p.m.
