BOSTON – Coming off a dominant, 2-0 victory against Connecticut on Friday night, the Northeastern women's soccer team will look to sweep the weekend at Parsons Field when the Huskies play host to crosstown rival Boston College on Sunday, Aug. 19, at 1 pm.

Northeastern is seeking its first-ever win against BC during the two programs' 15th all-time meeting. The Huskies have finished on the wrong side of one-goal margins during each of the schools' last four series meetings (dating back to 2014), but are eager to stage a similar effort to that of their 2016 team, which came within four seconds of defeating the Eagles at Parsons Field.
