Eagles Fall in Overtime to Virginia Tech in ACC Tournament
November 03, 2021 | Men's Soccer
BLACKSBURG, Va. – Jack Dearie's shot deflected inside the right post with 3:59 left in the first overtime on Wednesday night, lifting 8-seed Virginia Tech to a 1-0 victory over 9-seed Boston College in the first round of the ACC Tournament at Thompson Field.
The Eagles closed the 2021 fall season with a record of 6-7-2 (2-4-2 ACC), while the Hokies improved to 10-4-3 and earned a trip to the ACC Quarterfinals to face top-seed Pitt on Sunday.
Virginia Tech held a 3-1 advantage in shots on goal in a defensive match that followed a scoreless regular season matchup in Newton.
Wil Jacques made a potentially goal-saving challenge late in the first half, sliding with his left leg to deny Conor Pugh from behind in the middle of the BC box.
The best chance of the night for the Eagles came with under 10 minutes left in regulation, but Michael Suski's right-footed effort was pushed wide of the left post by Ben Martino for his lone save.
The game-winner came off a long throw-in for the Hokies and a scramble in front of Christian Garner (2 saves). Dearie turned at the edge of the 6-yard box and his left-footed shot took a deflection off a BC defender and bounced out of Garner's reach into the side netting.
