SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The No. 1 Boston College lacrosse team completed a five-goal comeback to top No. 10/11 Syracuse, 14-12, Saturday afternoon at the Carrier Dome. Senior attack Sam Apuzzo held the team with seven goals, becoming Boston College's all-time goal leader with 199 over her career. Senior goalkeeper Lauren Daly racked up 12 saves, a career-best, further holding off the Syracuse offense in the comeback win.
The conference opener started slowly as both offenses were held off for the first five minutes. The Orange had a promising start as they shot to a 7-2 lead over the Eagles early in the first half before Apuzzo unlocked and put BC back in the race with two consecutive goals.
