BOSTON - After a scoreless first half, the Boston College men's soccer team scored twice early in the second stanza to earn a 2-0 victory over host-Boston University in front of 2,345 at Nickerson Field on Monday, Sept. 1.
Brendan Ferullo and Neil Krause each tallied goals as the Eagles (1-1-0, 0-1-0) earned their fourth straight victory over the Terriers (0-2-0, 0-0-0) and first win of the 2003 season.

In the first minute of play after the break, Oktay Kilic sent a cross into the box and Ferullo headed the ball off the top of the cross bar. Ferrullo's shot went over the outstretched arms of Terrier sophomore goalkeeper Chad Comroe (Dallas, TX) and into the net for the Eagles first score at 45:59.
