CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - Boston College lacrosse sets its sights on a third straight ACC title when it faces No. 1 North Carolina on Sunday at noon on ACC Network.

About the Eagles
Last Time Out
Boston College outlasted No. 3 seed Stanford with a 16-9 win on Friday evening. Once again the Eagles used a strong second quarter, breaking a 3-3 tie after the first, outscoring the Cardinal 6-1 in the frame thanks to a pair of 3-0 runs. Emma LoPinto ended the half with two straight goals, including a score just before time ran out to give BC a 9-4 advantage. Stanford cut the lead to three late in the third period before Devon Russell started a string of three straight goals to give BC a 14-8 lead at the end of the third. Mia Mascone assisted on four of the five goals in the quarter. The Cardinal scored just once more early in the fourth, with BC tacking on two more goals to pull away for the win. LoPinto led the way with six goals, one assist and seven points, scoring three times in each half. Rachel Clark scored four goals, while Mckenna Davis finished with four points. Mascone tied a career best with six points on five helpers and one score.

A Win Would
- Give the Eagles a third straight ACC title.
- Improve BC's record to 18-1 overall.
- Hand UNC its first loss of the season.

By the Numbers
4 - Davis became one of four players in school history with Sam Apuzzo, Jenn Medjid and Covie Stanwick to reach the 300-point milestone.
5.5 - Mascone is averaging 5.5 points over the two ACC Tournament games - the highest two-game average this season for the attacker.
11 - BC has outscored its opponents in the ACC Tournament by 11 goals in the second quarter (plus-6 in three other quarters).
90 - BC has won 90 straight games when allowing under 10 goals.
85/100 - Rachel Clark is the first Eagle to post at least 85 goals and 100 points in a season since Charlotte North in 2022.

No. 1 vs. No. 2
Sunday's matchup is the fifth time since 2022 BC and UNC have faced each other in a No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup, with three of the matchups decided by one goal. A win on Sunday would be the Eagles' first victory in the series when both teams are in the top two.
