BC swept Holy Cross to start the season 4-0
SMITHFIELD, Rhode Island – The Boston College volleyball team extended its win-streak to four with a victory over Holy Cross on Friday night. The Eagles took three straight sets against the Crusaders with scores of 25-15, 25-22, and 25-19.
Neither team could maintain the lead early in the first set. After falling behind 7-5, a run of 8-2 put the Eagles well ahead of their competitor and they dominated the remainder of the set. A kill from Amaka Chukwujekwu (Laurel, Md.) ended the set, and the Eagles kept this momentum for the remainder of the match.
Holy Cross came out strong in the second set, leading the Eagles by a 6-2 margin. Boston College worked out of the deficit to even the score 10-10 before regaining the lead and ultimately taking the second set.
The third set was dominated by the Eagles, as they took the lead early and hit 0.409. A run of 5-1 completed the match and allowed the Eagles to sweep their second opponent in as many matches.
Chukwujekwu hit .600 for the evening with a team high of 10 kills. Clare Naughton (Atlanta, Ga.) added six kills and six digs of her own to aid the Eagles to victory and remain undefeated on the season.
The Eagles will return for two matches Saturday with competitions against Brown and Bryant.
