Eagles Announce 2019 Men's Soccer Schedule

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Boston College men's soccer head coach Ed Kelly has announced the 2019 soccer schedule that features nine home contests and seven road games. The Eagles will host four ACC teams, as well as five non-conference foes.

Home Sweet Home
BC will open up the 2019 season on Thursday, August 29 with a 2:30 p.m. tilt against Quinnipiac. It is the first test of the season for the young Eagles, as the Bobcats advanced to the MAAC final and went 10-6-3 (8-1-1) last year.

Boston College has nine home games, including four conference battles at the Newton Soccer Complex. Pitt will be the first ACC team in town on Friday, Sept. 20 (7 p.m.). Wake Forest and BC will battle on Friday, October 4 (7 p.m.), while the Eagles host Virginia on Friday, Oct. 11 (7 p.m.). The Eagles final ACC game is also the final home match of the season as former Big East rival Syracuse comes to town on Friday, Nov. 1 at 7.

The rest of the non-conference home schedules is as follows: URI on Friday, Sept. 6 (5 p.m.), UMass on Tues., Sept. 24 (5 p.m.), Merrimack on Tues., Oct. 1 and a big rival game vs. Northeastern on Tues., October 8 (7 p.m.).

On The Road
The Eagles will hit the road for six games, four against ACC foes. The Eagles first road trip is right down Commonwealth Ave. as BC and BU battle on Sunday, Sept. 1 (4 p.m.). Boston College will travel to Worcester to take on the Crusaders of Holy Cross on Tuesday, September 10. Five days later, BC will head south to play ACC foe NC State on Saturday, September 14.

Two home games will give BC a small break before the Eagles head to Blacksburg for a showdown at Virginia Tech on Friday, Sept. 27. This game will air on the new ACC Network.

A four game home stand will be just what BC needs before heading out on a three game road swing. The first of three games will be at Louisville on Friday, Oct. 18, followed by a tough game at Clemson a week later. The final road game is at Harvard on Tuesday, Oct. 28.

Ranked Teams
The Eagles will play six teams this season that competed in the 2018 NCAA Tournament. Four of those teams – Wake Forest (No. 6), Virginia (No. 15), Louisville (No. 16) and Virginia Tech (No. 17) all finished the Top 25 of the final U.S. Coaches Poll in 2018. BC also plays URI, Syracuse and NC State this season. All three received votes in the final poll last year.
