CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Boston College women's soccer junior Jenna Bike and freshman skipper Robert Hunter have been named Nissan Eagles of the Week following their performances last week.

Bike was instrumental in the Eagles taking down No. 7 Florida State, 2-1, on Sunday afternoon and helping the team extend its season-opening unbeaten streak to 10 games. The forward scored the game-winning goal in the 74th minute, running onto a beautiful ball from Emily Langenderfer, past the defense and placing a shot over the FSU goalkeeper who was coming out to cut the angle. Earlier in the game, Bike earned a penalty kick after breaking into the box and being held up by an FSU defender. Gaby Carreiro converted from the spot for the 1-0 lead in the 51st minute. Bike ended up with a team-high four shots and also had three in the Eagles' 3-0 win over Syracuse on Thursday night. This is the first time the program has opened up a season with a 10-0-0 run.

Hunter placed second in Division B at the Norman Reid Trophy regatta this past weekend. The skipper – joined by Laura Ferraris (races 1-4, 10-11) and Nicole Moeder (races 5-9, 12) on the crew – totaled 55 points, five ahead of the University of Rhode Island Rams in third with 60.
