BOSTON – The Boston University men's soccer team remains undefeated at Nickerson Field after playing Boston College to a 2-2 tie on Tuesday evening to conclude non-conference play.

Junior midfielder Ben Bagshaw put BU (6-2-4, 5-0-0 PL) on the board first in the 27^th minute, launching the ball into the top right pocket of the net off an assist from senior defender Charlie Tuckerman.

BC's Jayson Quintanilla tied the game in the 35^th minute with an assist from Dylan Mafong. In the second half, Mafong gave the Eagles (5-4-3, 1-4-1 ACC) a 2-1 lead they wouldn't hold for long with a goal of his own.

Freshman midfielder Ryan Ghajar brought the game to its 2-2 decision in the 62^nd minute when he floated the ball into the bottom left of the net, thanks to an assist by freshman midfielder Chinelo Robinson.

The Terriers fired off seven shots following Ghajar's second half goal, and held the Eagles to just two shots, in an attempt to take the lead but were unable to secure a win in the annual Battle of Comm Ave.
