NEWTON, Mass. – The Boston College women's soccer team opened up the season with a 4-2 victory over non-conference foe Quinnipiac at the Newton Soccer Field on Friday night. BC will play at Northeastern on Sunday afternoon at Parsons Field (1 p.m.).
Redshirt junior Gaby Carreiro, who missed 2017 with an injury, opened the scoring in the 10th minute off a long ball from junior Jenna Bike to give BC an early 1-0 lead. Carreiro then set up junior forward Olivia Vaughn in the 20th minute for a 2-0 Eagles lead.
The Eagles gave up their early lead on two late first half goals by Quinnipiac.
BC took the lead back early in the second half as Vaughn struck again on a breakaway in the 51st minute off a long ball from Jillian Jennings. The Eagles pulled ahead by two goals when Jenna Bike was taken down in the box on a long run. BC was awarded a penalty kick which Carreiro scored on in the 77th minute of the match.
Graduate goalkeeper Alexis Bryant (Kensington, Md.) picked up the win with two saves.
