Boston College Women’s Soccer Prepares for Home Match Against Colgate

Boston College Women’s Soccer is gearing up for a home non-conference match against Colgate this Thursday evening at the Newton Soccer Complex. It’ll be streamed live on ACCNX.

This game wraps up their home non-conference schedule. The Eagles want to keep their strong start going and ride their current momentum.

With a mix of seasoned players and promising newcomers, Boston College looks ready to put on a show for their fans. There’s a sense of anticipation in the air.

A Look at the Opposition

Colgate comes into the match with a 1-2-2 record. They’ve had a tough start to their season.

Josie Tunney leads their offense with two goals. Five other players have chipped in one goal each, so the attack feels pretty balanced.

Defensively, Colgate hasn’t had it easy, conceding eight goals while scoring seven. That’s left them looking for answers at the back.

Key Players to Watch

Josie Tunney stands out for Colgate right now. Her goal-scoring form could make the difference if they want to pull off a win.

The other goal scorers will need to step up too. A well-rounded attack is their best shot against Boston College.

Series History

Boston College and Colgate have met ten times over the years. The Eagles have won eight of those matchups.

Their last meeting came in 2017, when Boston College rolled to a 5-1 win. That kind of history probably gives the Eagles some extra confidence heading into Thursday.

Past Encounters

In that 2017 game, Boston College grabbed a decisive 5-1 victory. Both teams might look back at that match as they get ready for this one.

The Eagles will try to repeat that success. Colgate, on the other hand, has something to prove.

Milestone Marker

Sophie Reale has turned heads for Boston College this season. She notched a hat trick against UAlbany, the first Eagle to do that since 2018.

The last hat trick came from Sam Coffey back on October 4, 2018, against Virginia Tech. Reale’s big game underlines just how important she is to the team.

Sophie Reale’s Impact

Reale’s hat trick against UAlbany says a lot about her skill and drive. She has a knack for finding the back of the net.

As the season moves along, it’s hard not to see her as a focal point for the Eagles’ attack. She’s got that spark you hope for in a leader.

Newcomers Hot Start

This season, Boston College welcomed eleven new players who’ve already seen action in the first five games. Nine of them are freshmen, and they haven’t wasted any time making their mark.

Out of the Eagles’ 14 goals this season, newcomers have scored ten. That’s a huge contribution from the fresh faces.

Fresh Faces Making an Impact

The newcomers have blended in fast, quickly finding their rhythm and chipping in where it counts. Sophie Reale leads the team in points with nine—four goals and an assist.
