Box Score Highlights

Syracuse (3-3-2, 0-1-0) yielded a goal in each half and host Boston College (8-0-0, 1-0-0) remained undefeated by securing a 2-0 victory on Sunday night.

HOW THE MATCH WAS DECIDED
Boston College took advantage of a busy flurry in the penalty box to get on the board first. Ashley Roberts got a shot off that Syracuse's Maya Naimoli made a strong stop on, but, following a scramble, the ball landed on the foot of Georgina Clarke, who tallied for the Eagles. The goal, which came 7:57 into the match, was Clarke's second of the season.

ORANGE EFFORT
Syracuse had a couple of opportunities to score in the first half. The Orange earned a corner kick four minutes into play and junior Jasmine Nixon eventually gathered the ball and steered a shot on goal that Boston College's Olivia Shippee had to stop. Just prior to the intermission, sophomore Ali Howard took a hard shot that traveled just outside the far goalpost.

Sophomore Abby Incorvaia tested the Boston College net at 63:28. Guarded closely in the middle of the field, Incorvaia spun away from a defender and shot with her left foot, but the attempt went wide. Syracuse had one more great chance with 4:05 remaining. Junior Gabby Wisbeck started the play with a corner kick. After two Syracuse headers, sophomore Bree Bridges had her shot stopped by Shippee.

EAGLES SOLIDIFY ADVANTAGE
Boston College extended its lead in the early portion of the second half. Sophie Reale carried the ball in transition and maneuvered left. Her left-footed strike found the net and put the Eagles up 2-0 at the 57:54 mark.
