Boston College Women’s Lacrosse Falls to Syracuse

After opening the season with wins against Holy Cross and UMass, BC women’s lacrosse was handed their first defeat today. The Eagles opened ACC play on the road against #5 Syracuse and had trouble keeping up with the top-ranked team.

The Eagles scored 2 goals early in the game, thanks to Mary Kate O’Neill and Sam Apuzzo. After gaining an early lead, BC let Syracuse go on an 8-0 run before ending the first period on a 4-1 run of their own.

BC and Syracuse entered the second half with the Orange leading 9-5. Unfortunately for BC, Syracuse ran away with the game in the 2nd half. BC would score 4 more goals, but the Orange picked up 9 for a final score of 18-8.

After starting the season with a 3 game road trip, BC returns to the Heights on Wednesday, February 15. They will open their home season with a 1 PM game against the Boston University Terriers.
