On Thursday afternoon, the Boston College women’s lacrosse team hosted the Yale Bulldogs for an NCAA tournament quarterfinals match-up. The Eagles fought through a close first half, but pulled away by the end and defeated Yale, 18-11.
Coming into the game, the Eagles didn’t look like their dominant selves. They struggled to win draw controls against Stony Brook on Sunday and those struggles continued on Thursday. Yale won ten straight draw controls at one point in the contest and held an early one-goal lead as a result.
But BC, and specifically Emma LoPinto, started to kick things into gear by the end of the second quarter.
