Eagles Defeat Pitt in Bounce-Back Win
March 26, 2022 | Lacrosse
PITTSBURGH - The Boston College lacrosse team bounced back with a 19-12 win over Pitt on Saturday afternoon at Highmark Stadium.
The Eagles are 9-1 on the season and 3-1 in ACC play. BC improves to 5-0 on the road as well. Pitt falls to 5-6 and 0-5 in league action.
Seven different Eagles scored on the day, with Jenn Medjid totaling a season-high six scores. She and Belle Smith were two Eagles who scored at least five times, as Smith recorded five goals.
Medjid and Smith tallied assists as well, giving the teammates seven and six points, respectively. Charlotte North scored four goals and also registered a helper for five points. Caitlynn Mossman led the team with three assists on top of a goal, equaling four points.
It was a slow start for the nation's second-ranked team, as the Panthers came out of the gate with a 5-1 lead in the first 9:25 of the contest.
Smith scored back-to-back times to trim the lead to two, 5-3, going into the second frame.
After Pitt scored two straight times early in the second, it was all Eagles moving forward. A 5-0 run in which five different players scored gave BC an 8-7 lead. Pitt's Carlie Leach tied up the contest with 13 seconds left in the half.
Boston College claimed a commanding lead as it scored four of the first five goals of the second half to take a 12-9 lead. Pitt got back to within two moments later, but that was close it would get the rest of the way.
Smith and Medjid scored twice in the final 1:32 of the third period to give BC a 14-10 edge going into the fourth.
BC pulled away for the victory in the first matchup against Pitt. After the Panthers took a 7-3 lead in the first half, the Eagles outscored their foe 16-5 over the final 43:26 of the game.
BC caused seven turnovers thanks to three different players in Courtney Taylor, Melanie Welch, and Smith all having two. Four players also tallied two groundballs.
Mallory Hasselbeck, Kayla Martello and Mckenna Davis got in on the action with a goal.
BC returns home on Wednesday, March 30 against Dartmouth in the start of a three-game homestand.
