The lacrosse team takes on its first ranked opponent of the season in No. 13 USC
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — The No. 15 Boston College women's lacrosse team is set to take on No. 13 Southern California for its first ranked matchup of the 2020 season on Friday at McAlister Field in Los Angeles. First draw is set for 6:00 PM EST.
The Eagles are coming off of a tight win over Vanderbilt, securing the victory 15-12 in the first game of the season at the Newton Lacrosse Complex. Senior captain Cara Urbank paced the Eagles, tallying a career-best six goals while sophomore Jenn Medjid and junior Jordan Lappin both contributed with three scores. Sophomore goalkeeper Rachel Hall stood strong in net, racking up 11 saves for her second straight game with double-digit stops. Following the victory, Hall ranks first in the ACC in saves per game, averaging 11.67Â per contest.
Boston College has never fallen to the Trojans in the short series, holding a 5-0 record dating back to 2014. Last season, the Eagles took the win in Newton with a 12-9 win over the then-No. 24 Trojans. Sam Apuzzo led all scorers with six goals while Kenzie Kent added six assists en route to BC's second win over a ranked opponent that season.
The Eagles return home to host Brown on Tuesday, with first draw set for 3:00 PM in Newton. The matchup will be broadcast on the ACC Network Extra.
