An NCAA national championship is coming back to Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts.
The Boston College women's lacrosse team defeated top-seed and reigning Division 1 champions Northwestern in the national title game on Sunday at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina.
A rematch of last year's championship, the contest was close and hard-fought. The Eagles came back from a 6-0 first-quarter deficit and didn't take their first lead until the fourth quarter, going on to beat the Wildcats 14-13.
