October 10, 2021 | Women's Soccer
Sam Smith scored for the Eagles in the second annual Pink Card game.
NEWTON, Mass. – The Boston College women's soccer team took fifth-ranked North Carolina to overtime on Sunday afternoon but the Tar Heels scored the golden goal late in the first overtime period to eke out a 2-1 win at the Newton Campus Soccer Field.
The game served as the second annual Pink Card Match for the Eagles. The team's pink warm-up jerseys will be auctioned here through Sunday, Oct. 17. The proceeds from the auction will support the Auerbach Breast Center at Mass General Brigham.
The Eagles carried the early play and then took a 1-0 lead in the 50th minute thanks to Sam Smith's fourth goal of the season. The Tar Heels, though, evened the score late in the half and then scored for the win in overtime.
