Down 11-7 with 10:43 remaining in today’s game against #8 Notre Dame, the #7 Eagles lacrosse team scored five goals, the last with 12 seconds left, and blanked the Irish to win 12-11.

BC improved to 10-3 (6-1 in the ACC) for the season, while Notre Dame fell to 8-4 (4-3).

It was the fifth straight win by BC over Notre Dame in lacrosse, and the Irish’s first loss at home this season. Overall, the Eagles are 13-8 against ND.

Graduate student Jenn Medjid scored four goals, with Belle Smith, Cassidy Weeks, and Kayla Martello adding two goals each. Mckenna Davis and Courtney Weeks each scored one goal. The winning goal was a sisterly affair, as Courtney Weeks passed to sister Cassidy for the clincher.

BC goalie Shea Dolce had 13 saves, a personal high, for a .542 save percentage.

In their previous game, Notre Dame had defeated then-#3 North Carolina, ending the Tar Heels’s 27-game winning streak against ACC opponents.

The Eagles have three games left in the regular season: Tuesday at BU, next Saturday against Virginia, and the season closer at Syracuse on Thursday, April 20.

The ACC conference championship begins Sunday, April 23, in Charlotte, N.C.
