CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Junior Hannah Church tied the program record for most single game RBI (7) while the team recorded 19 runs and 17 RBI to tie for third most in program history in a convincing win over Boston College in game one of the series Friday afternoon.

The Pack moves to 19-11 overall and 3–4 in conference play.
How it Happened
The Pack will return to Harington Athletic Village on the campus of Boston College on Saturday, March 22 at 1pm for game two of the series. It will be streamed on ACCNX.
