Boston College Falls to No. 1 UNC

NEWTON, Mass. – The top-ranked North Carolina Tar Heels topped the Boston College women's soccer team, 3-1, on Sunday afternoon at the Newton Campus Soccer Field.

UNC scored in the 20th minute and then scored twice in the first 10 minutes of the second half to take a 3-0 lead. Jenna Bike's 84th minute goal put the Eagles on the board - and broke up a 499 minute shutout streak for UNC - but the Tar Heels kept the Eagles at bay for the remainder of the game.

HOW IT HAPPENED

20' | Isabel Cox was fed on the left side and carried the ball into the box and got off a shot just as Allie Augur and Samantha Agresti converged. Augur made the initial point-blank but Cox was able to head the rebounded ball to the far post.
46' | Rachel Jones sent a cross to the left side of the box, where Brianna Pinto finished it inside the right post.
54' | Pinto turned on a defender in the box and found Talia Dellaperuta at the top of the 18 for a long-distance strike.
84' | Sam Smith sent in a long cross from the right flank that found a UNC head. The UNC defender headed the ball down into the box and Bike hustled to it, slid and struck it hard to the far post.
