About the Eagles
Last Time Out
BC scored a season-high 19 goals with 24 draw controls in a 19-7 win over Florida State for its first win of the season. Boston College dominated the draw circle with a 24-4 showing. Abbey Herod paced the team with a season-high nine draw controls. Giulia Colarusso carded a career-best seven, while Avery Hudson notched five draw controls. It was a balanced scoring effort, with three players registering a hat trick and a pair of Eagles turning in five goals. Colarusso had a career day with a personal-best five goals, one assist and a career-high six points. Molly Driscoll tied her personal high with five scores, and Marissa White's five points (3 goals, 2 assists) set a new season best. Hudson added four points (2 goals, 2 assists) and Hanna Davis (2 goals, 2 assists) chipped in with four points - both career highs for the tandem. Julia Hodell led the team with three ground balls and Shea Baker totaled two caused turnovers. Shea Dolce totaled eight saves with a .533 save percentage.
A Win Would
- Give BC a 2-3 mark and 1-1 mark in ACC play.Â
- Give the Eagles their first home win of the season.
- Give BC its first top-10 win of the season.Â
- Improve the Eagles' record to 2-0 against Clemson.Â
By the Numbers
.553 - Shea Dolce has a .553 save percentage over the last three games.Â
4 - Abbey Herod is four draw controls away from being one of seven players in school history with 200 career draw controls.
5 - Giulia Colarusso is the first Eagle since Charlotte North in 2022 to post a game with at least five goals and five draw controls.
17.3 - The Eagles are first in the country in turnover rate at 17.3 percent.
161 - Boston College has 161 wins dating back to the 2017 season.
