CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – The Duke volleyball team fell on the road to Boston College 3-1 (19-25, 25-21, 15-25, 15-25) Friday evening in Power Gym in Chestnut Hill, Mass. With the loss, the Blue Devils drop to 7-9 (0-3) in the ACC as the Eagles improve to 12-4 and remain undefeated in league action.

The Blue Devils trailed 9-5 in the second set before a back-and-forth affair set in. Nazor gave Duke a 21-18 lead with a sneaky kill at the net before Owokoniran set up a huge block that resulted in a big reaction to hype up the Blue Devils to take set two.

The Eagles jumped out to a quick 6-1 run in the fourth and eventual final frame and Duke was unable to hold off Boston College's offense that committed just eight errors in the final two sets.
