Boston College lacrosse heading to 4th straight national championship game

Boston College women’s lacrosse will play in their fourth-straight NCAA Championship game after they upset previously undefeated North Carolina, 11-10, in Friday’s semifinal at Johnny Unitas Stadium at Towson University.

Eagles junior goaltender Rachel Hall had a standout performance, equaling her season-high 11 saves. It wasn’t easy against the top-seeded Tar Heels (20-1), who had downed BC 21-9 in ACC play early in the season, but she was up to the challenge, especially when UNC mounted a late-game comeback.

BC (17-3) got off to a hot start, with Cara Urbank winning the opening draw. Eagles superstar Charlotte North was Urbank’s passing target, but she faced a Tar Heels double team and was forced to pass it to Caitlynn Mossman. The junior slid a shot past UNC goalie Taylor Moreno to put the Eagles up 1-0 just 1:18 into the game.

But then BC’s offense stalled. UNC won the next draw control, and their depth was on full display. Though BC’s defense covered the Tar Heels leading scorer, Jamie Ortega, she found Caitlyn Wurzburger with a feed that became their first goal of the game. UNC dominated the next seven minutes of play, with both Ortega and Katie Hoeg scoring to open up a 3-1 lead.
