NEWTON, Mass. – The Northeastern men's soccer (0-1-1) fell to the Boston College Eagles (2-0-0) by a score of 3-2 on Monday afternoon at Newton Campus Field.

The Huskies found themselves down by a three-goal deficit midway through the second half, but they converted on two key penalties drawn in the box to pressure BC til the final whistle.
 

• BC opened the scoring late in the first half with a goal in the 35^th minute.
• An unlucky handball in the 47^th minute resulted in a BC penalty. Goalkeeper Colby Hegarty guessed correctly on the shot location, but the shot just beat his glove in the lower-left corner of his net for the 2-0 Eagle lead.
• Tobias Wangerud attempted a shot off the ensuing kickoff, and despite beating the goalkeeper, the shot curved just off-target.
• BC's third goal came in the 63^rd minute after a string of Northeastern possession.
• The Huskies got one back in the 74^th minute when freshman forward Fraser Brown drew a penalty kick in the box after being fouled by the BC keeper. Sophomore transfer Tobias Wangerud (1) stepped to the spot and buried a shot in the lower right corner for his first goal as a Husky, making it 3-1.
• A BC hand-ball in the box drew another Huskies penalty kick in the 80^th minute – Sebastian Restrepo (1) took the penalty and tucked it upper-left corner to cut the lead to one.
• The Huskies pressured for the final 10 minutes but were unable to find the equalizer.

 
The Huskies begin conference play this Saturday with a trip to Elon, North Carolina to face the Phoenix. That game will kick off at 6 p.m. on Saturday, September 3^rd, streaming on FloFC.
