About the Eagles
Last Time Out
Boston College fell in the highly-anticipated national championship rematch on Thursday to Northwestern, 14-11. Rachel Clark stepped up with five goals and an assist for a game-high six points. Kayla Martello registered two goals and a helper. Emma LoPinto totaled three points ( 2 G, 1 A) and Mckenna Davis dished out three assists. A quick start for Northwestern led to a 3-0 lead halfway through the first period. Martello scored both of her goals in back-to-back fashion to slice the gap to one. However, the Wildcats found the back of the net four more times to go into the second with a 7-2 lead.Â
A Win Would
- Give BC a 6-1 mark and 2-0 record in the ACC.
- Improve BC's record to 24-0 when coming off a loss since 2017. The Eagles have lost back-to-back games in the same season since 2016.
Reaching Milestones
- Belle Smith on Thursday with her lone assist became the eighth player in school history to record 250 points.Â
- Hunter Roman is two ground balls away from 100 for her career.Â
- Cassidy Weeks is one goal away from 100 for her career.Â
- Davis is three assists away from becoming one of five players in school history to reach the century mark in assists.Â
- Martello is five points away from reaching the 150 mark.Â
By the Numbers
2 - BC is one of two schools in the country to rank in the top five in offensive efficiency (40.5 percent) and defensive efficiency (19.6 percent).
53 - Davis (29 pts) and Clark (24 pts) is tied for the second highest scoring duo in the nation.
80 - Weeks has 80 straight starts going into Sunday.
Scouting Virginia Tech (4-1, 1-0 ACC)
-Â VT is 4-1 and has won its last three games. The Hokies most recently defeated Louisville in their ACC opener, 14-10.
-Â Olivia Vergano led the team with five goals while Kayla Downey scored three goals with one assist and four points.
-Â Jocelyn Torres made nine saves in the win.
-Â Downey leads the team 12 goals, 13 assists and 25 points.
-Â She's one of three players with at least 15 points.
-Â Torres has started in the cage in all five games, boasting a .467 save percentage and 35 saves.Â
Series History
The Eagles are 19-5 all-time against VT and winners of the last five meetings. BC edged the Hokies last season in Blacksburg. Martello netted a hat trick and Shea Baker's second half hat trick was the difference in the 14-12 win.
What's Next
BC vs. BU in the Battle of Commonwealth Ave on Wednesday at 4 p.m. in Fish Fieldhouse.Â
