BOSTON – Facing off against Boston College on a rain-soaked Nickerson Field, the Boston University women's soccer team could not overcome an early score by the Eagles as it was edged, 1-0, Thursday night.

How It Happened

Making her return in net following a three-game absence, Amanda Fay passed an early test as Boston College roped the first shot on goal five minutes into the game.
The Eagles ramped up the pressure as the first half wore on, and were able to break through in the 31st minute off a corner kick.
Mijke Roelfsema one-timed a volley from 12 yards out that arched just under the crossbar to put the crosstown rivals ahead, 1-0.
Regrouping at the half, BU nearly tied the game up in the 47th minute on a corner kick of its own, as Taylor Kofton flicked a header that landed on frame.
Fay made a spectacular save in the 68th minute, making a full-extension diving save to her left to keep it a one-goal game.
The Eagles had several quality looks in the second half, finishing with a 17-3 advantage in shots, though Roelfsema's score in the first half proved to be the game-winner.
