QUEENS, N.Y. – Boston College volleyball split its day-night doubleheader at the Jack Kaiser Classic; defeating Army 3-1 and falling to host St. John's 3-2. The loss in the nightcap snapped the Eagles' eight-match win streak to start the season.
In the opener against Army, graduate outside hitter Clare Naughton (Atlanta, Ga.) put down the game-winner on match-point for her 16th kill of the match. She finished with her second straight double-double and third of the year; adding 16 digs.
Junior right side Izzy Clavenna (Dallas, Texas) hit .462 with 12 kills, a career-high, and no errors. Sophomore outside Katrina Jensen (Temecula, Calif.) also contributed 12 kills; hitting .412 after the first set.
Sophomore setters Sophia Lambros (Fullerton, Calif.) and Grace Penn (Manhattan Beach, Calif.) paced the Eagles with 22 and 21 assists, respectively. Sophomore libero Anna Murphy (Zionsville, Ind.) picked up a match-high 23 digs.
