Eagles Defeat Boston University 5-2 to Move Above .500

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Boston College hosted Boston University on Saturday at the Connell Recreation Center and picked up a 5-2 non-conference victory over the Terriers.

The Eagles moved back above .500 overall at 4-3 (2-3 ACC), while BU fell to 1-1 on the season.

The doubles point was extremely tight to open the match, but the 25th-ranked pair of Yufei Long and Kylie Wilcox defeated Emily Kim and Lily Burchell in a tiebreaker to clinch the first point. The other winning doubles tandem came from Marice Aguiar and Laura Lopez in the No. 2 slot.

The Eagles came out firing in singles, beginning with a convincing straight set victory from Long in No. 1 singles. Wilcox followed in second singles by winning a second set tiebreaker to put Boston College ahead 3-0. Lopez then clinched the match in No. 4 singles, taking her third set 6-1 against Burchell.

Sophomore Hailey Wilcox closed the day with a straight set win in sixth singles against Sofia Kostirko.
