May 24, 2024 | Lacrosse
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - CHAMPIONSHIP BOUND! Boston College lacrosse secured a seventh straight national title appearance with a thrilling 10-7 win over Syracuse on Friday evening in Cary, N.C. BC will face Northwestern in a national championship rematch on Sunday at 12 p.m. at the WakeMed Soccer Park on ESPN.
The defense limited Syracuse to just seven goals, while Shea Dolce made 12 saves and a .632 save percentage. Rachel Clark posted five goals with one assist for six points, while Mckenna Davis registered one score and four assists, equaling five points. The duo combined for six goals and five helpers for 11 points.Â
BC's defense held Syracuse scoreless at one point for 17 minutes in the first half and later for over 20 minutes. With the score tied 2-2, BC went on a 4-0 surge into the second period to take a 6-2 advantage. Clark led the attack with two of the goals with Davis book ending the run. Syracuse climbed back into the contest by scoring twice before the half, giving BC a 6-4 halftime lead.Â
