The No. 14 Virginia men’s soccer team suffered its first defeat in more than a month, falling 1-0 loss to Boston College in Chestnut Hill, Mass. Friday night.
The loss marks the end of Virginia’s six-game winning streak and gives Virginia its first conference loss of the season; the Cavaliers return to Virginia with a record of 8-4 (4-1 ACC).
Boston College freshman forward Edvin Worley scored the game-winning goal for the Eagles in the 65th minute. The Eagles edged the Cavaliers 13-12 in shots, but the teams both had the opportunity to take five corner kicks. Freshman forward Brian Ownby led Virginia with seven shots but was unable to find the back of the net.
Virginia will return to action Tuesday night when the Cavaliers take on Longwood at Klöckner Stadium.
