Boston College is now 9-3-1 overall and 2-3-0 in the ACC, while Virginia Tech improved to 8-5-0 overall and 2-2-0 in the conference.

Mewis' goal tied the game at 1-1 in the second half. Just minutes after her goal, Mewis had a point blank shot on the Virginia Tech goalkeeper Dayle Colpits (six saves). With two defenders on her side, Mewis squeezed out a shot that Colpits easily handled.

Virginia Tech took the lead at the 75 minute mark when Brittany Michels threaded a pass through two Eagles defenders to Ashley Manning. Manning, who had just entered the game, took two dribbles and was one-on-one with BC goalkeeper Jillian Mastroianni. Manning went far post on the shot to give Virginia Tech a 2-1 lead.

Mastorianni, who finished with six saves, made a diving save minutes later when Marika Gray broke in alone. Mastroianni smothered the loose ball before Gray could dribble by the Eagles keeper.

Virginia Tech's first goal was scored by Brittany Michels when she knocked in a cross from Jennifer Harvey. Michels scored at 21:01 in the first half.

Boston College finished the game with a 16-12 edge in shots. Mewis led the Eagles offense with 10 shots, five on goal. BC had a slight edge in corner kicks, 5-4.
