The Boston College women’s lacrosse team made a big statement in yesterday’s opening round of the NCAA Tournament, defeating the Canisius Golden Griffins by a score of 21-9. The Eagles move on to play Syracuse on Sunday at 3 PM.
The Eagles and Griffins went back and forth for the first few minutes of the game, but Canisius went on a early streak to go up 5-2 at 16:30 in the first. BC then scored 6 unanswered goals, and would not lose the lead again. A 7-0 run for the Eagles in the second padded their lead and ultimately led to the 12 goal victory.
