Is there a program in New England that can stop Boston College men’s soccer? At this point, there doesn’t appear to be a team east of New York that can beat Ed Kelly’s Eagles. After rolling through Quinnipiac and Boston University without surrendering a goal and edging out the Rhode Island last week, BC headed…
Adam French scored his first career goal, Amos Shapiro-Thompson opened his scoring ledger in his first game in a BC uniform, and the Eagles started the season with a 2-0 shutout of the Wildcats.
Behind goals from fresh faces in Alex Mieles and Mike Suski, BC broke a 1-1 tie and pulled away from the visiting Friars in its first action of the fall.
For the third straight match, BC was done in by a single goal, losing to Notre Dame in what was yet another heartbreaking conference game.
Simon Enstrom scored his sixth goal of the season, and BC recorded 32 shots to Holy Cross’ seven, but struggled to find a way past Holy Cross keeper Henry Stutz in a frustrating draw.
BC snapped its six-game scoreless streak against the Tigers, and Simon Enstrom logged a pair of goals, including the game-winner in the 88th minute to knock of Clemson for the first time since 2009.
BC erased a two-goal lead and then rallied again, scoring a game-tying goal with under four minutes remaining in regulation before eventually drawing in overtime with the rival Terriers.
After struggling in 2017, head coach Ed Kelly added 13 new players to a roster already featuring plenty of returning talent and has his team poised to make some noise in a stacked Atlantic Coast Conference.
