The Boston College field hockey team improved to 7-3 this weekend with a 3-0 victory over Fairfield. The Eagles now have 3 straight shutouts, and have outscored their last 3 opponents 11-0. Additionally, 5 of BC’s 7 victories have been shutouts.
The Eagles outshot Fairfield 15-4 and had 7 corners to Fairfield’s 1, making this a rather one-sided game. BC did not manage to break through until 22 minutes into the game, when Brooke Matherson scored off of a penalty shot rebound. Matherson also scored BC’s second goal of the game, and the Eagles went into the locker room at halftime with a 2-0 lead.
