CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - Sarah Powell (Natick, Mass./Natick) scored the gamewinner to lift Boston College 1-0 over Brown University Wednesday in the Eagles' last regular season game at the Newton Campus Soccer Field. BC improved to 12-5-1 as the Eagles garnered 12 victories for the second consecutive year under Head Coach Alison Foley. The Browns dropped to 2-10-2 overall.
Powell broke 63 minutes of scoreless play when she received feeds from Mary Guarino (Plantation, Fla./St. Thomas Aquinas) and Muffin Rueckel (Westport, Conn./Westport) and pounded the ball from 20 yards out toward the far post. That was Powell's first goal of the season while Guarino collected her sixth assist and 30th point in 1999.
Courtney Schaeffer (South Huntington, N.Y./Walt Whitman) earned her fourth shutout in five games, ninth complete shutout of the season and 25th of her career with two saves against the Bears today.
