Stefan Sigurdarson scores lone goal in overtime loss.
NOTRE DAME, Ind. – The No. 8 Boston College men's soccer team fell to No. 9 Notre Dame, 2-1, in double-overtime in the first round of the ACC Tournament on Tuesday afternoon at Alumni Stadium on the campus of Notre Dame.
Notre Dame won the game on an own goal in the second overtime.
Boston College dropped to 8-5-3. Notre Dame improved to 10-6-1 and will play at No. 1 Clemson on Sunday in the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament.
The Eagles scored first as freshman Stefan Sigurdarson tallied his seventh goal of the season. The forward received a pass from senior Lasse Lehmann, who won a 50-50 ball in the middle of the field. Sigurdarson weaved through a player and ripped a shot from 25-yards out for the 1-0 BC lead in the 24th minute.
The Irish tied the game in the 62nd minute on a shot off the head of Ian Aschieri from Jack Casey.
Sigurdarson had a great chance from six yards out in the 85th minute off a feed from Michael Suski. Sigurdarson was challenged on the shot and it sailed high over the crossbar.
In overtime the two teams traded blows. In the 97th minute, Suski had a shot to the left of the Irish keeper Duncan Turnball in the 97th minute. Turnbull (2 saves) handled it easily. Notre Dame's best chance came in the 98th minute on a cross into the box. BC goalkeeper Christian Garner (3 saves) made the save coming across his goal but it was called offside.
Just one minute into the second overtime, Notre Dame advanced on the own goal.
