Atchison's Tiebreaker Secures Win Over Huskies
September 18, 2018 | Field Hockey
The sophomore's second goal of the year lifts Eagles for first of three games in six days
DEDHAM, Mass.:Â The No. 9 Boston College field hockey team topped cross-town opponent Northeastern, 2-1, Tuesday evening in Dedham.
The Eagles opened up the match with a statement, pulling two consecutive corner shots just 30 seconds into the game. Although both corner shots were blocked, sophomore Fusine Govaert found her fourth goal of the season 4:13 into the game to open up the scoring and put the Eagles up 1-0.
The remainder of the first half showed the Eagles holding onto control in their offensive zone. They led in shots 7-2 throughout the half.
The Huskies knotted the score at one when Rachel Campbell capitalized on Northeastern's first corner attempt of the evening at 30:45 in the first. The 1-1 tie remained to end the half.
Junior goalkeeper Sarah Dwyer opened up the second half with a pair of crucial saves. The Eagles seemed to have capitalized on their first corner chance of the second half, but the ball was called as too high.
The Eagles called a timeout with 13:59 remaining in the second half. Following the break, sophomore Cassidy Atchison broke through the tie and lifted the Eagles up 2-1. The sophomore's second career goal secured the win for the Eagles.
