Eagles’ defensive back now leads the nation in interceptions, while Matherson tallies twice in action last week
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Boston College junior free safety Lukas Denis (football) and senior forward Brooke Matherson have been named Nissan Eagles of the Week for their performances last week.

A back-to-back Eagle of the Week, Denis recorded two more interceptions on Saturday against Central Michigan, a new career-high for the Everett, Massachusetts native. With five interceptions on the year, he now shares the national lead in the category.

Matherson scored two goals on the weekend: one in each of the Eagles' contests against No. 2 Duke and at New Hampshire. She scored the game-tying goal against the Blue Devils in the first half, which Duke went on to win in a shootout.
