October 24, 2019 | Women's Soccer
Gaby Carreiro scored her fourth goal of the season in the loss.
BLACKSBURG, Va. – Gaby Carreiro scored her fourth goal of the season for the Boston College women's soccer team but the No. 25 Virginia Tech Hokies scored twice in the final 15 minutes for a 2-1 win on Thursday night at Thompson Field.
Maddie Murphy made three first half saves to send the teams into halftime in a scoreless tie, and then Carreiro's 70th minute tally gave the Eagles a 1-0 lead. Kelsey Irwin, though, took advantage of two free kicks and tied the game in the 76th minute before sending in the game-winning goal in the 84th.
The Eagles will remain on the road, heading to top-ranked Virginia for a game against the Cavaliers on Sunday, Oct. 27.
