HOW IT HAPPENED
- 2' | Samantha Agresti was able to win a 50-50 ball in the midfield, poking it over to an open space for Laura Gouvin to pick up and turn up field. From 30 yards out, Gouvin then beat the goalkeeper with a long strike inside the right post.
- 48' | From the edge of BC's defensive third, Jenna Bike surged up field and outpaced the defense to space. Bike was able to send a pass out wide to the right for Sam Smith. Smith then made a move to open up a path to the goal and from the edge of the box was able to power a left-footed strike off a defender and past the goalkeeper.
- 60' | Rebecca Groseibl took a touch towards the middle of the field and found an open Smith. The sophomore then one-touched the ball to open up her hips to shoot from 20 yards out, sneaking a left footed strike inside the left post.
- Boston College had the 17-6 lead in shots and a 5-4 edge in shots on goal.
- The Eagles had the 4-3 lead in corner kicks.
- The Eagles now hold a mark of 2-0-0 in the all-time series with UAlbany.
- Goalkeeper Allie Augur made four saves for her fifth career shutout.
- Laura Gouvin's goal in the second minute (1:59) marked the fastest for BC to start a game since Kayla Jennings (assisted by Jillian Jennings) scored in the fifth minute of a 3-3 tie with Wake Forest on Oct. 13, 2019.
- Gouvin's goal was her second of the season … she now has two goals and two points for six points … both of her goals have been game-winning goals.
- Sam Smith's two-goal performance marked the third brace of her career … the sophomore now has four goals and two assists on the year for a team-leading 10 points.
- Rebecca Groseibl picked up her first collegiate point with an assist on Smith's second goal.
- Smith led all players on the day with four shots while Jenna Bike and Gouvin had three each.
- Boston College (2-9-0)
- UAlbany (3-4-0)
