More struggles for the Eagles, as they fell to 3-18 in the ACC on the season after being swept by #8 Virginia Tech in a home series. On Friday, Joe Mancini pitched a gem going into the seventh inning, but allowed back to back homeruns as the Eagles' bats went silent in a 2-0 loss. On Saturday, in the ALS Awareness game at Fenway Park Boston College, the Eagles and Hokies were locked in a battle, until the 6th inning when a two run homerun gave VT the lead and the victory. On Sunday, the Hokies rallied from one down to grab the win in the 7th inning. With the sweep, Boston College is now on a seven game losing skid.

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - The Boston College lacrosse team heads into the ACC Tournament with momentum after defeating No. 4 Syracuse, 15-13, on Friday evening in Alumni Stadium.
BC improves to 14-2 overall and 6-2 in ACC play. The Eagles have won six of their eight matchups against ranked opponents this season. Syracuse falls to 13-4 and 6-2 in league play.
In a rematch of last season's national title game, the matchup lived up to the hype in front of 4,507 fans. Phoebe Day was honored with the No. 19 jersey in honor of Welles Crowther in the annual Red Bandanna Game.
Belle Smith tied a career high with five goals on the evening, leading five Eagles with multiple scores. The sophomore also added a pair of ground balls and one caused turnover.
Charlotte North led the way with six points thanks to a hat trick and three assists. She became just the seventh player in women's lacrosse history to reach 400 career points. Kayla Martello netted a second straight hat trick, and both Jenn Medjid and Cassidy Weeks scored twice. Caitlynn Mossman recorded a team-high four assists.
It was a back-and-forth battle in the first half as neither team held a lead by more than two goals. Syracuse held a 4-2 advantage late in the opening period before Martello scored on back-to-back possessions to tie up the contest going into the second quarter.
Weeks and Smith capped off a 4-0 run to give the Eagles a 6-4 lead midway through the second frame. After the Orange responded with a pair of goals to knot things up, Smith scored with just under three seconds to send Boston College into the half with a 7-6 edge.
It was a lead the Eagles wouldn't relinquish the rest of the way thanks to a 5-2 third-quarter showing, which led to a 12-8 score in their favor at the end of the third.
'Cuse made things interesting by slicing a five-goal deficit to one with under 10 minutes left in the game. Smith and Medjid delivered timely goals to push the lead back to three, 15-12, and helped the Eagles hold on for the bounce-back win.
North and Courtney Taylor led the team with five draw controls, while Hollie Schleicher, Melanie Welch and Smith totaled two ground balls. Schleicher also led the way with a pair of caused turnovers on top of four draw controls.
