This would be a good win! It is the second of our 4 games against ACC opponents, taters and Va. Tech to follow.

Hoping Cat Berry can return to action tonight

 

[FCB 2013 treble]

First 45 minutes over with a scoreless half. Patrick missed a chance to put South Carolina ahead at the 34:40 mark.

 

[FCB 2013 treble]

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooal. Patrick scores first goal of season off a corner kick and ball bouncing off players in front of six yard box and Patrick seized on the ball and scored at the 72:23 Mark. South Carolina 1 Boston College 0.

 

[FCB 2013 treble]

Final. South Carolina 1 Boston College 0. South Carolina outshot Boston 20 to five but only manage to score one goal. Need to work on that. Another good effort by South Carolina tonight.
