Terriers Blanked by No. 17 Boston College, 5-0

BOSTON - Despite not allowing any corners and keeping the possession battle relatively even, the Boston University field hockey team was unable to get on the board against crosstown rival Boston College as the 17th-ranked Eagles came away with a 5-0 win on Sunday afternoon at New Balance Field.

Freshman Margo Carlin scored the game's first four goals, helping BC improve to 8-5 on the season. The Terriers fall to 4-8 with the loss.

After three quarters, shots were an even eight apiece, but Carlin scored two goals in both the first and third periods. 

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • BC scored on the first two shots of the game with the first coming just 1:48 after the opening whistle.
  • Carlin took a long pass from the midfield and curled around the right side of the circle to create space before firing a high shot past BU netminder Livy Golini.
  • The lead was doubled at the 7:10 mark when an attempt from the left side by Nell Webber was redirected by Carlin at the near post to the netting.
  • BU earned back-to-back corners in the second quarter but could not capitalize on the opportunity and headed into halftime with a 2-0 deficit.
  • Carlin completed a hat trick when she collected a pass on the left side of the circle before spinning around and sending a high backhanded effort to the far corner in the 36th minute.
  • The Terriers held a 4-2 edge in shots during the third quarter but BC goalkeeper Sarah Dwyer stopped both shots on goal in the frame.
  • The Eagles took a 4-0 lead at 42:47 when Jaime Natale sent an elevated pass to Carlin, who tipped it up to the top of the cage near the right post.
  • Charlotte Von Huelsen capped the scoring with 1:53 left in regulation with a high shot from the top of the circle.
GAME NOTES
  • BU earned three corners and did not give up any in the defensive end.
  • BC held an 11-8 advantage in shots.
  • Golini earned her third straight start in goal for BU and made four saves on eight shots in three quarters of work.
  • Freshman Caroline Kelly played the final quarter and stopped one of the two shots she faced.
  • Dwyer turned in a four-save performance for the Eagles to earn her fourth shutout of the season.
