Allen leads BC with eight tackles, Vaughn records brace
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Boston College football senior Zach Allen and women's soccer junior Olivia Vaughn have been named the Nissan Eagles of the Week following their performances this past weekend.
Â
Allen led BC with eight tackles, two sacks and four tackles for loss in the 45-35 win over Temple on Saturday afternoon at Alumni Stadium. The captain's sack in the fourth quarter forced a critical Temple punt as BC scored on the following possession to secure the victory. Allen recorded two sacks and moved to ninth all-time at BC, tying Eric Lindstrom (1984-88) and Nick Larkin (2004-07) with 15.5 in his career. The New Canaan, Conn. native's four TFLs pushed his career total to 33, which is tied for sixth all-time at BC with Kevin Kavalec (2013-16) and Tim Morabito (1992-96).
Â
Vaughn's brace at Clemson were instrumental in BC's 2-1 comeback win at Clemson on Sunday. Both of her goals were scored in the second half of the ACC match. Down 1-0 after a 69th minute goal by the Tigers, Vaughn had an unassisted strike from 20 yards out to tie it and then finished off a pass from Sam Coffey for the game-winner in the 82nd minute. It was the Montclair, N.J. native's second two-goal game of the season and fourth of her career.
