Lacrosse: No. 9 Wildcats fall to No. 1 Boston College

In a matchup with the country’s top-ranked team, Boston College, ninth-ranked Northwestern women’s lacrosse fell 22-17 Saturday night at Ryan Fieldhouse.

Selena Lasota scored five times for the Wildcats, but Dempsey Arsenault’s seven goals powered the No. 1 Golden Eagles (8-0) to an impressive road victory in what was their fourth win over a ranked team this season. The loss drops Northwestern to 4-3 on the season, with all three losses coming against top five opponents.

Liza Elder got things going for Northwestern with a goal less than a minute into the game, but Boston College rattled off three straight goals to follow and never trailed again.
