Yesterday, the women’s lacrosse team defeated Navy by a score of 16-15. This was the first Final Four appearance in program history, and the win sends the Eagles to their first ever NCAA Championship game. Women’s lacrosse will be the first non-hockey program to represent Boston College in an NCAA final.
The Eagles were led by Kenzie Kent, whose 5 goals and 1 assist played a major part in BC’s win. Kent scored 3 times in the second half, helping the Eagles to overcome the 3 goal deficit the faced at the beginning of the second. This is Kent’s second Final Four appearance of the year, as she also play for BC women’s ice hockey. Kaileen Hart, Kayla O’Connor, Kate Weeks, Emma Schurr, Mary Kate O’Neill, Sam Apuzzo, and Dempsey Arsenault also scored for the Eagles. Hart’s second goal of the game was the game-winner for BC.
BC Interruption was well represented at Friday’s game and our photographer, Kathryn Riley, took some terrific photos of both the in-game action and the post-game celebration. Check her pictures out below!
