Eagles Wrap Up Beantown Challenge
September 02, 2017 | Volleyball
Volleyball went 1-2 during the Beantown Challenge after a loss to tournament-winner North Texas.
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Lynn Braakhuis was chosen as Boston College volleyball's all-star during their last match of the Beantown Challenge tournament after dropping the match to North Texas, 3-1.
The Eagles (2-4) picked up a first-set win over the Mean Green (5-1), but were unable to stage a comeback, even after a steady rally in the fourth set.
Braakhuis added 13 points and 11 kills to BC's effort, while Cat Balido hit .324 from 16 kills. Ally Mullen hit a team-high .417 during the match.
North Texas was paced by Barbara Teakell, who recorded 19 points, 17 kills and showed up defensively with team-high 14 digs. Mean Green's MVP Amanda Chamberlain hit .600 from 12 kills. The team went undefeated this weekend, 3-0, and won the tournament.
The Eagles will hit the road next and take on Temple on September 8 at 7 p.m.
