After easily handling Louisville yesterday with a 13 goal victory, Boston College will face Notre Dame in the second round of the 2018 ACC Tournament. Notre Dame, the #5 seed, picked up an 11-10 victory over #4 Virginia yesterday afternoon. BC and Notre Dame haven’t faced off since the beginning of the season, when they were each other’s first match-up of the year. The Eagles won that game 13-11. This should be another winnable game for BC, as they have outperformed Notre Dame across the board this season.
