Sigurdarson Lifts 10-Man Boston College Past Boston University 2-1

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Down to 10 men and down a goal at halftime, Stefan Sigurdarson's brace in the second half fueled a 2-1 come-from-behind victory for Boston College over Boston University in the home opener on Monday night at the Newton Soccer Complex.

The Eagles extended their unbeaten streak against the Terriers to eight games and evened their overall record at 1-1-0.

BU's Quinn Matulis converted a penalty kick inside the left post in the 28th minute, and Moritz Frahm was sent off just three minutes later for a sliding challenge.

Just a minute into the second half, Sigurdarson's first goal of the night brought BC level. Amos Shapiro-Thompson slid a through ball to Aidan Farwell, who beat a BU defender in the right side of the box and centered off Sigurdarson's chest into the left corner.

In the 62nd minute, Shapiro-Thompson sent Sigurdarson into the offensive third and the junior from Iceland beat Francesco Montali high to the near post from the left wing.

Boston College out-shot Boston University 17-8 overall and 6-3 in shots on goal. Sigurdarson and Shapiro-Thompson combined for 10 shots for the Eagles.

BC hosts Hartford next Monday night at 5:30 p.m. to continue a four-game home stand.
