The #8-ranked Boston College field hockey team started their 2016 season with a cruise to victory, topping the Quinnipiac Bobcats 2-0 on Friday afternoon in Hamden.
Emily McCoy and Brooke Matherson scored the two goals for BC, both of which came in the second half. The Eagles dominated from the get-go, outshooting QU 9-1 in the first half but failing to find the back of the net, despite earning 3 penalty corners.
The Eagles finally got their breakthrough in the 38th minute, when McCoy scored on a 2-on-1 breakaway with Brittany Sheenan. Matherson scored on a rebound in the 63rd minute to provide the final 2-0 margin.
