Eagles Host Duke and UNH for Alumni Weekend and MS Awareness Game
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Boston College (4-8, 0-5 ACC) returns to Newton to begin a four-game homestand to close out the regular season. The Eagles open the stretch on Friday, hosting No.8 Duke (8-4, 3-2 ACC) at 6:30 p.m. on ACC Network, before taking on non-conference foe New Hampshire (6-5) Sunday at noon.
MS AWARENESS
- We are honored to recognize Kathleen Murphy this weekend for our annual MS Awareness game.
- During her time at Boston College, Murphy was an integral member of the women's field hockey team when she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a disease that attacks the central nervous system. Murphy refused to let MS stop her from living her life, and continued practicing and competing despite the disease. Her strength and determination continue to inspire us all.Â
- Murphy and her teammates began participating in a walk for the MS Society. Today, Murphy continues to spread awareness for MS and raise funds to help find a cure.Â
SHOOTING OUR SHOT
- Melea Weber is leading the team in goal scoring with three goals in her first year in the maroon and gold. Weber also leads the team in points with six total.
- Three new faces have netted their first collegiate goals. Caroline Chisholm, Kate Bock and Alex De Cain each have scored for the Eagles. De Cain and Chisholm each have two goals as well as an assist.
- Martina Giacchino is one of four Eagles to have recorded multiple assists with three on the record; Madeline Leigh, Klara Muffelmann and Eva Kluskens have assisted other Eagles in scoring twice each.
- BC scored three goals in the game against Northeastern, the highest goal count of the season.Â
