BC Stays in Maryland to Face Terps on Sunday
COLLEGE PARK, Md. – No. 17 Boston College (2-1, 0-0) took No. 2 Northwestern (1-1) to overtime on Friday night, but ultimately fell short 1-0 in their first loss of the 2023 season.
Neither team was able to break the stalemate throughout 60 minutes of regulation, with both teams drawing in shots on goal (3), saves (3), and corners (2) at halftime. The Eagles were able to fend off a Wildcat flurry in the third quarter that featured three consecutive penalty corners, yielding only one shot on goal that was saved by Caroline Kelly. BC produced two quality looks in the fourth quarter, but were unable to find the back of the net as time expired.
Northwestern eventually found the back of the net at 65:51 to outlast Boston College in a tightly-contested affair.
The Eagles will stay in College Park, Md. to take on No. 3 Maryland on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. Action will be broadcasted live on Big Ten Plus.
