Eagles Suffer Setback at Top-Ranked Virginia
October 27, 2019 | Women's Soccer
Gaby Carreiro scored her fifth goal of the season, ending a seven-game shutout streak for UVA.
Virginia struck twice in the first half for a 2-0 lead at the break and then added two more early in the second stanza. Carreiro's fifth goal of the season put an end to UVA's 775 minute, seven-game shutout streak. Unfortunately for the Eagles, UVA regained its four-goal lead 10 minutes later and then capped off the scoring in the 79th minute. BC still pressured to find the back of the net, earning three corner kicks in the final five minutes, but was unable to score again.
The Eagles will conclude the regular season on Thursday, Oct. 31 with a 7 p.m. game against No. 15 Clemson at the Newton Campus Fields.
