The No. 12 Boston College Eagles (1-3, 1-1 ACC) women’s lacrosse team picked up its first win of the season with a 19-7 victory over the Florida State Seminoles (2-4, 0-2 ACC) on Tuesday afternoon.

The Seminoles tacked on a pair of goals in the second from Summer Harrell and Amelia Brite to get back within two, but Boston College attacker Molly Driscoll put one in the back of the net with 2:49 remaining in the second to give the Eagles the three-goal advantage heading into the break. 

White opened the scoring in the second half with a goal for the Eagles with 11:13 to go in the third. The score marked a hat trick for the UNC transfer, one of three BC players to get a hat trick in the game.
