BROOKLINE, Mass. – Weathering 19 shot attempts by Boston College on Sunday at Parsons Field, the Northeastern women's soccer team did well preserving a scoreless shutout until the 77th minute, when the Eagles broke through with the lone goal of the match to defeat the Huskies, 1-0.
 
Northeastern (1-1-0) was denied on each of its six shots, landing three attempts on target. Kerri Zerfoss produced the Huskies' best scoring opportunity during the 87th minute, firing Chelsea Domond's pass at BC goalkeeper Alexis Bryant, who made the diving save that maintained the one-goal margin.
 
Gianna Mitchell headed in the winning goal for Boston College (2-0-0), which extended its lead in the all-time series to 14-0-1. Mitchell was on the receiving end of Sam Coffey's corner from the right flag, narrowly beating Nathalie Nidetch to the ball within the six-yard box.
 
Zerfoss' shot on goal marked the second of two such attempts that Northeastern racked up in response to Mitchell's goal. Mikenna McManus had laced the first during the 81st minute, making the final touch on a give-and-go sequence with Olivia Ware that was kept out by Bryant's left leg.
