NEWTON, Mass. – Behind two goals from Margo Carlin, the Boston College field hockey team defeated No. 15 Syracuse 2-1, at the Newton Field Hockey Complex on Friday, Oct. 18.

Both of Carlin's goals came in the second half and were assisted by Jaime Natale and Brigid Wood.

Carlin opened the scoring for the game 5:17 into the second half, receiving a pass from Jaime Natale, who dribbled into the circle and drew the goalie out of the cage, before sticking the ball in the back of the net.

Syracuse would score their lone goal of the game with just 16 seconds remaining in the third period.

With just under four minutes remaining in the game, Carlin would give BC the lead when Brigid Wood would make a brilliant run into the circle, feeding Carlin who pulled the ball to her strong side and hit it into the goal. The goal was her fourth game-winning goal of the season.

Sarah Dwyer earned her fifth-straight win, making one save on two shots on goal in 60 minutes of action.
