About the Eagles
Last Time Out
A season-high 10 different players scored for the Eagles with 11 of the goals being assisted on. Jenn Medjid tied a season high with seven goals and eight points. Cassidy Weeks scored two goals and recorded a career-best six draw controls. Kayla Martello turned in four points with a pair of goals and assists. All it took were three goals by Mejdjid in a 1:52 span to give Boston College a commanding lead. BC continued its torrid stretch of scoring, where five different Eagles scored the last seven goals of the frame to give BC a 10-1 cushion going into the second.

A Win Would
- Give BC a 12-3 mark and 7-1 record in ACC play.
- Improve the Eagles' record to 10-13 with an eighth straight win over UVA.
- End the home slate with a perfect 8-0 mark.
- Improve to 6-3 against ranked opponents this season.

Sharing the Wealth
Boston College assisted on 12 of 19 goals in the win over Boston University on Tuesday. The Eagles are fourth in the nation and second in the ACC averaging 8.43 assists per game. In 11 wins this season, BC is recording 9.6 assists (4.6 in losses). Mckenna Davis leads the team with 44 assists on the season, which is the second most in a single season in program history.

Jenny Buckets
Medjid is on a scoring tear, where she has 18 goals in the month of April over three games. The attacker for BC has 37 goals over the last nine games (17 in first five), while she is third in the nation and first in the ACC in goals scored.

ACC Tournament
BC is currently third in the standings with a 6-1 mark, while UVA is 5-2 on the season. A win on Saturday would clinch no worse than the third seed, while the Eagles have a chance to earn the No. 1 or 2 seed with victory this weekend and next week against No. 1 Syracuse.
