August 28, 2023 | Men's Soccer
HAMDEN, Conn. – Junior Jonathan Murphy scored for the second time in as many matches, but Boston College fell 3-1 on the road to Quinnipiac on Monday afternoon at the Quinnipiac Soccer & Lacrosse Stadium.
Â
The Eagles evened their record at 1-1-0, while the Bobcats improved to 1-0-1.
Â
Quinnipiac opened the scoring in the 14th minute when Dario Cavada converted a rebound after Leon Musial's initial save on Terrance Wilder, Jr.
Â
QU doubled its lead in the 35th as Francisco Ferreira took a pass from Cavada in the right side of the BC box and fired a shot inside the near post.
Â
Boston College pulled a goal back quickly in the 38th minute following an impressive individual effort from Xavier O'Neil. The freshman weaved his way into the right side of the Quinnipiac box before centering a pass for Murphy, who lifted a first-time effort into the roof of the net. O'Neil earned his first career point with an assist.
Â
Brage Aasen restored the Bobcats two-goal cushion in the 58th minute, finishing a centering pass in the center of the box from Tomas Svecula low to the left post.
Â
Musial earned the start in net and made three saves, while O'Neil led the Eagles with three shots on the day.
Â
BC returns to action on Friday night when it hosts Jacksonville at the Newton Soccer Complex at 5:30 p.m. on ACC Network Extra.
