Second Period Comeback Against Navy Sends Boston College Lacrosse to Title Game

Yesterday, the Boston College women’s lacrosse team played in the Final Four for the first time in program history. Tomorrow, the team will be the first non-hockey BC team to compete in an NCAA championship game. The Eagles earned are heading to the finals thanks to a 16-15 come-from-behind victory against Navy.

Kenzie Kent, who led BC with 5 goals, started off the scoring to give BC an early 1-0 lead. Despite a good start, the Eagles struggled with possession in the first half. Kenzie Kent scored with 8 seconds remaining in the half, but BC still went into the second half down 9-6.

Luckily for the Eagles, they have excelled in the second period all year and started the period with 5 unanswered goals. Navy crept within one goal, but was unable to make a comeback, thanks in no small part to a couple of stellar saves by Lauren Daly.

Kent was the biggest offensive presence for BC on Friday, but Sam Apuzzo (2 G, 2 A), Kaileen Hart (2 G, 1 A), Kate Weeks (2 G, 3 A), and Kayla O’Connor (2 G, 4 GB) all made a big impact as well.

Tomorrow at 11 AM, BC will face an undefeated Maryland team in the 2017 NCAA Championship. Tickets can be purchased here.

Go Eagles!
