Coffey, Bike Score In 2-1 Victory over Northeastern
September 03, 2017 | Women's Soccer
Eagles improve to 4-2 with third consecutive victory.
NEWTON, Mass. – Freshman Sam Coffey and sophomore Jenna Bike scored within a minute of each other to lead the Boston College women's soccer team over Northeastern, 2-1, on Sunday afternoon at the Newton Soccer Field. Boston College improved to 4-2-0 on the season while Northeastern dropped to 4-2-0.
After a scoreless first half, the Eagles came out flying. Coffey, a rookie from Sleepy Hollow, New York, opened the scoring in the 51st minute after stealing the ball from a Northeastern defender. Minutes later off a corner kick, sophomore Jenna Bike scored after a loose ball landed at her foot and she placed it in the back of the goal for a 2-0 BC lead.
The BC defense held Northeastern to just four shots on goal. Eagles goalkeeper Alexis Bryant had three saves in the win.

WHERE: Newton Soccer Field, Newton, Mass.
FINAL: Boston College 2, Northeastern 1
HOW IT HAPPENED
GOAL: Boston College 1, Northeastern 0 – 51st minute: Freshman Sam Coffey won a loose ball from a Northeastern defender in the Huskies zone. The Eagles rookie midfielder broke into the box and ripped a shot that bounced under the Northeastern goalkeeper Nathale Nidetch (6 saves).
GOAL: Boston College 2, Northeastern 0 – 52nd minute: The Eagles earned two straight corner kicks. On the second one, Sam Coffey's sent the ball into the middle of the box. BC senior Madison Kenny deflected the ball and it landed on the foot of Jenna Bike, who calmly placed it in the back of the goal.
GOAL: Northeastern 1, Boston College 2 – 90th minute: Hannah Rosenblatt was the recipient of a misplayed long ball. Rosenblatt got a touch on the ball before BC keeper Alexis Bryant could control the bouncing ball. Rosenblatt walked into the box alone off the touch and cut the Eagles lead to one goal with 10 seconds to play in the game.
COACH'S QUOTE
Head Coach Alison Foley -
"I thought our back line was great and didn't give up any chances. Northeastern has some dangerous forwards and we managed them well,'' said Foley, whose team has won the last three games. "I thought we had a really solid game and certainly the result doesn't indicate our dominance. But we will take the victory and move on to the next game."
