Boston College field hockey dropped a heartbreak to Duke today, falling in the shootout to the #2 team in the country. The Eagles fought hard and put the pressure on the Blue Devils, outshooting them 22-16, but lost by a final score of 3-2.
Duke opened the scoring just 2 minutes in to take an early lead, but BC’s Caroline McGovern tied things up 5 minutes later with her 3rd goal of the season. Duke scored their final regulation goal near the end of the first period and took a 2-1 lead into the second.
The only goal of the second period was scored by BC’s Alesandra Miller, who scored on her first shot on goal.
