Sam Coffey Strikes Again In 3-0 Win
August 29, 2018 | Women's Soccer
BC improves to 5-0 with a 3-0 victory over Stony Brook.
NEWTON, Mass. – Sophomore Sam Coffey scored a goal and tallied an assist in Boston College's 3-0 victory over Stony Brook in non-conference play at the Newton Soccer Field on Wednesday night.
Boston College is now 5-0 and will host Texas Tech on Saturday night. Stony Brook drops to 2-3 and will play at St. John's on Sunday.
Junior Olivia Vaughn struck first for the Eagles in the eighth minute of action. Vaughn received the ball from sophomore Jillian Jennings and slid through two defenders and placed the ball into the near post for a 1-0 lead.
Coffey extended the Eagles lead in the 61 minute when BC was awarded a free kick. Vaughn was pulled down and held as she tried to break into the box for a shot. The Sea Wolves player received a red card on the play, and Coffey had a shot from just outside the box. The Eagles midfielder stepped up, having missed a free kick just minutes earlier, and placed a rocket into the top far post for a 2-0 Eagles lead.
Two minute the Coffey-Gianna Mitchell combination struck again. Coffey sent a corner kick into the box, and Mitchell was alone at the far post for an easy header for a 3-0 lead. It was Mitchell's fourth goal of the season and Coffey's team-high fifth assist.
Graduate goalkeeper Alexis Bryant (5-0) picked up the win with one save.
