Medjid kickstarted the 10-2 run when she converted on this long-range assist from Smith, a freshman midfielder who won a gold medal with the U.S. women’s U19 team. Smith then did it all herself to tie the score at 4.
After Annabelle Hasselbeck fed Medjid to make the score 11-6 with under a minute left in the first half, Cara Urbank won the draw and found Mossman for another score — giving BC two goals in 12 seconds and a 12-6 lead.
BC wasn’t done adding on. Courtney Weeks split straight through the UMass defense for a 13-6 lead.
Charlotte North and Urbank, the team’s usual go-to stars, were held quiet on offense. Both scored two goals on three shots. They did, however, combine to win 16 draws as BC posted a 22-6 draw advantage.
It’s encouraging — and probably threatening for teams trying to scout the Eagles — that Boston College was still able to drop 19 goals when its top two offensive threats were limited to just four goals combined.
Boston College gets a true test on Saturday when it heads to Chapel Hill to take on No. 1 North Carolina — the unquestioned top team in the country to this point. The game will be shown on ACC Network Extra at 11 a.m. Eastern, so tune in if you’re able.
