Boston College women’s soccer visited Stanford for a 10 p.m. ET game on Thursday night looking for its first ACC win of the season. 

Unfortunately for the Eagles, their conference record still begins with a zero. Stanford, meanwhile, picked up its second conference win of the season and kept its loss total to just one. 

BC (4–3–4, 0–2–1 Atlantic Coast) gave up a goal ten minutes into play, then another in the final 15 minutes, and ultimately lost 2–0 to the Cardinal (8–1–1, 2–0–1 ACC) to stretch its winless streak to four games. 

Stanford tallied more than seven times as many shots as the Eagles did, landing 12 of its 36 shots on goal. Junior goalkeeper Olivia Shippee recorded 10 saves, but the Cardinal’s constant barrage broke through a couple of times, keeping Stanford in front as it maintained possession for the majority of the match. 

Only two Eagles—Emily Mara and Georgina Clarke—were able to get shots off. Stanford’s defense was smothering, and its offensive dominance made it so goalkeeper Caroline Birkel needed just one save to hold BC scoreless all night. 

Meanwhile, six different Stanford players recorded shots on target while they also got six corner kicks compared to BC’s zero. 

Stanford was running the field for 90 minutes, even getting called for two offsides calls as the offense tried to rush in transition. 

Andrea Kitahata tallied the Cardinal’s second goal of the night as she beat her defender and launched a shot that flew past Shippee into the right side of BC’s net. The forward, a redshirt senior, has now tallied a point in nine of Stanford’s first ten games.
