No. 8 Virginia Edged by No. 17 Boston College, 1-0
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – The No. 8 Virginia field hockey team (8-3, 1-2 ACC) suffered a 1-0 loss to No. 17 Boston College (5-5, 2-1 ACC) on Friday (Oct. 4) at Turf Field in Charlottesville, Va.
HOW IT HAPPENED
Boston College scored the lone goal of the game with six seconds remaining in the first quarter by converting a penalty corner.
FROM HEAD COACH MICHELE MADISON
“We needed a better start to the game. We had a good week of practice, but it didn’t translate onto the field today. We had some opportunities in the circle, but we didn’t capitalize. We need to shake this one off and get back to work tomorrow to prepare for Old Dominion on Sunday.”
