BOSTON — The Boston University women's lacrosse team kept it close in the first quarter, but ultimately could not hold on as the top-ranked Boston College Eagles defeated the Terriers, 21-6, at Nickerson Field on Sunday afternoon.

The score was 2-2 with 9 minutes to go in the first quarter before Boston College scored five straight goals to put themselves up 7-2 at the end of the first quarter on a chilly day at Nickerson Field.

The Terriers had highlights in two-goal games from both senior Avery Jones and sophomore Izzy Amonte, but the Eagles led 13-5 at halftime and pulled away from there, only allowing one goal in the second half of play. Sophomore Natalie Aiosa had a career day in goal, making 12 saves for BU.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Rachel Clark scored her first of five goals for BC in the first minute of play.
Sophomore Tessa Geddes responded with BU's first goal of the season at 13:24 in the first quarter on a feed from Avery Jones.
BC scored again before sophomore Izabella Amonte turned around and tied the game at 1-1 with her first career goal at 11:21.
The Eagles then scored five straight goals with Clark finding the back of the net twice and freshman Molly Driscoll scoring two times.
Amonte ended the Eagles' run with a goal in the first minute of the second quarter.
Following a BC tally, senior Avery Jones responded for the Terriers, taking a pass from Raegan Bailey and scoring at 12:19 in the second quarter.
The Terriers were held scoreless for the next nine minutes before sophomore Alex Cutone scored on an assist from Reilly Walsh, making it 12-5 BC.
BC held the Terriers scoreless in the third quarter and scored four goals of their own, stretching the lead to 17-5 entering the final frame.
Jones found the back of the net for her second goal of the game from the 8-meter with 8:31 to play in the fourth.
BC scored three more goals before the game finished.
