About the EaglesÂ
Last Time Out
BC earned a 3-2 win on Senior Day against Sacred Heart last Sunday. Aislinn Streicek led the charge, as she recorded a career-high five points in an Eagles' uniform with a pair of goals and an assist. The Alabama transfer became the first player since 2019 to register at least five points in a match. Claire Mensi also tallied an assist, while Sophia Lowenberg scored her second goal of the season. Ava McNeil found her first collegiate score of the season with an assist.Â
A Win Would
- Give BC back-to-back victories for the first time this season.Â
- Push the Eagles' record to 4-3-2.Â
- Snap an eight-match winless streak against the Blue Devils.Â
- Give the Eagles their first ACC-opening win since 2018.Â
Catching Milestones
Wiebke Willebrandt is on the cusp of entering the top five all-time in school history in saves. The goalkeeper for the Eagles needs just two to move into fifth all-time in saves. She has a career-best 1.42 goals against average and three shutouts on the season, tying a personal best in clean sheets.Â
Scouting Duke (4-2, 0-0 ACC)
