HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. – The No. 6 Boston College lacrosse team used its offense to beat Hofstra on Long Island, 19-7, on Saturday, March 20.

BC jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead and followed a pair of Hofstra goals with a 8-0 run. North scored four of her six goals in the first 15 minutes of the game.
Â
Courtney Weeks scored BC's first two goals of the second half before Hofstra went on a 5-0 run themselves from the 23:57 mark to 15:19. BC wouldn't let them score again, scoring the game's last seven goals, three of which came from Smith and two from Urbank.
