NEWTON, Mass. -- The Boston College lacrosse
team topped Iona College, 19-5 on Wednesday afternoon in Newton,
Mass.

Boston College got on the board first with scores by junior

scoring once again. Killeen added one more at 9:29 of the half and
senior Suzanne Cannon also put one in the back of the net at the
0:17 mark of the half. The score finished at 19-5.

was achieved on three separate occasions before.
