Chestnut Hill, MA -
The No. 12 Boston College women's soccer team had four different players score to lead the Eagles to a 4-1 Atlantic Coast Conference victory over Miami at the Newton Soccer Field.
The Eagles (8-1-2 overall, 2-0-1 ACC) extended their unbeaten streak to eight straight games. During the streak, Boston College has gone 6-0-2 with the two ties - Harvard and ACC foe Duke.
Senior Caitlin Hiler, who finished with a goal and one assist, got the Eagles on the board first at 4:46. Hiler headed in a ball over the Miami goalkeeper Vikki Alonzo. Alonzo made an initial save on a shot from freshman Julia Bouchelle and Hiler cleaned up the loose ball for a 1-0 BC lead. It was Hiler's first goal of the season.
Hiler set up the second goal by finding Bouchelle in the box. Bouchelle's shot was then deflected by sophomore Brooke Knowlton past a diving Alonzo at 17:08. Knowlton now leads the Eagles in scoring with six goals and two assists for 14 points.
The Eagles would out-shoot Miami, 16-1 in the first half.
Boston College's next two goals were within a three minute span. Bouchelle scored off a pass from Knowlton at 51:22. It was Bouchelle's fourth goal of the season.
Freshman defender Alyssa Pember ended the scoring with her first career goal. In a crowded box, sophomore Chelsea Regan found Pember, who slid the ball by Alonzo to extend BC's lead, 4-0.
Miami would score its lone goal off a set piece when Ashlee Burt deflected a shot by Lauren Singer at 59:26 past BC goalkeeper Jillian Mastroianni.
The goal did not stop the offensive onslaught by the Eagles. They continued to push forward and finished with a 31-4 shot advantage, including an 11-2 shots on goal difference. The Eagles also recorded 11 corner kicks to zero for Miami.
Next, BC will host No. 11 Florida State on Sunday, October 5. The game will be played at the Newton Soccer field (1 p.m.).
