Boston College won the 2024 DI women’s lacrosse championship, defeating Northwestern 14-13. Click or tap here for stats from the game.
Boston College rallied from a 6-0 first quarter deficit to win the game. Kayla Martello led the second quarter rally with four of her game-leading five goals, and overall, four Eagles scored multiple goals. Defensively, sophomore goalie Shea Dolce stepped up huge after a rough opening to the game, finishing with nine saves. When Dolce wasn’t stopping shots on goal, she was jump-starting transition attempts, pushing the ball down field. It was an impressive effort from the team as a whole, never giving up despite trailing for the first three quarters.
CHAMPIONS. 🤩
