GAME RECAP

The Eagles struck in the fourth minute to quickly take a 1-0 lead. On a penalty corner, Frederique Haverhals blast on a direct shot from the top of the circle was redirected into the cage by Matherson.
BC extended the advantage to 2-0 at 28:53 on another corner. The initial shot by Haverhals was stopped by Rudert. The ball was deadened in front of the goalmouth and, from a scrum of four players, Warner pushed a shot into the cage.
The visitors led by that two-goal margin at halftime despite being outshot 5-4 in the opening 35 minutes. The corners were even at 3.
Boston College converted another corner into the third goal of the game at 39:13 when Govaert scored on a direct shot inside the right post. The battery of Alesandra Miller and Chelcie Mendonca set up the goal.
McGovern capped the game scoring with 47 seconds left in regulation as she corralled a thru-ball for a 1v1 with Rudert. McGovern evaded the oncoming goalie by pulling the ball to the right side and lifting a shot into the open cage.
