Eagles Upended by No. 2 North Carolina
March 20, 2022 | Lacrosse
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - The Boston College lacrosse team fell, 16-15, in a valiant comeback effort against No. 2 North Carolina on Sunday afternoon in Alumni Stadium.Â
BC falls to 8-1 and 2-1 in the ACC, while North Carolina is 9-0 and 3-0 in league action.Â
Played in front of 5,937 fans, the highly-anticipated matchup between the top-two teams in the country lived up to the hype.Â
Charlotte North led the Eagles with four goals on the day. She was one of three players with hat tricks, as Jenn Medjid and Kayla Martello scored three times.Â
Trailing by as much as six early in the fourth period, BC came back with a chance to tie the game up in the final minute of the game.
Medjid and Martello scored on back-to-back possessions to slice the lead to four. After UNC answered with a goal of its own, four different players scored over the next six minutes to bring the deficit to within one, 16-15.Â
The Eagles were unable to tie up the contest, leading to the Tar Heels pulling out the win.
It was back-and-forth in the part of the game. Caitlynn Mossman scored one of her two goals in the first quarter followed by North's score that gave BC a 2-0 advantage.Â
Carolina scored two straight times to tie up the game before each team traded goals. Mckenna Davis gave the hosts a 4-3 lead heading into the second period.Â
What proved to be the difference was the second quarter in which the Tar Heels outscored the Eagles, 4-0. UNC went into the break with a 7-4 edge.Â
The offense bounced back in the third quarter by scoring five goals, but the Heels scored six of their own. Belle Smith and Medjid were able to bring the Eagles to within two midway through the third. UNC stretched the lead to four by going on a 3-1 run at the end of the period.
The Tar Heels scored two more times to start the fourth before the comeback by the Eagles.Â
North led the Eagles with seven draw controls, and Smith was the lone player with a caused turnover.Â
BC will look to bounce back next Saturday against Pitt at 12 p.m. on the road.Â
