Men’s Soccer Falls to Boston College, 1-0

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Boston College's Mohammed Moro scored in the 16th minute to lead the Eagles past the Brown men's soccer team, 1-0, in Tuesday night's non-conference matchup at Stevenson Field.

Boston College improves to 7-3-1 overall while the Bears drop to 5-4 on the season.

Boston College notched the lone tally of the contest at 15:45. Simon Enstrom moved down the left flank before passing off to Moro, who had his initial shot blocked, but quickly rifled home the rebound to give the visitors the early lead.

BC outshot the Bears in the first half, 6-5.

Brown roared back in the second period with 12 shots, including five on target with several solid chances down the stretch.

After a pair of early attempts from Matthew Chow (Vancouver, British Columbia) and Will Cross (Nashville, Tenn.), Brown's best chance came late in the stanza with just under six minutes remaining. Chow blasted a shot from the top of the box that was turned away by BC keeper Alex Kapp with a rebound in front, but Jack Hagstrom (Middleton, Wis.) followed with a shot that sailed just high over the crossbar.

Brown kept up the attack during the final minutes of the contest, but Kapp corralled a header by Cross and Nate Pomeroy (Groton, Mass.) sent a shot just wide, as BC staved off the late bid and sealed the win.

Brown recorded 13 corner kicks to just one from the Eagles. Brown also outshot BC, 17-13.

Brown returns to Ivy League play on Saturday when the Bears host Princeton at 7 p.m. Tickets for all Brown men's soccer games can be purchased online, by calling the Brown Athletics Ticket Office at (401) 863-2773, or by walking up to the box office located in the Pizzitola Sports Center, open Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
