From Coach da Luz
“Our team did everything to win the game, but we had to settle for a point today. Boston College is a fast-paced physical team that presented many problems, but I felt like we had much more of the second half and almost won it at the end. We earned another shutout, and Valentina Amaral and the backline played very well. Kylie Maxwell and Sierra Sythe were dangerous all game. We fought hard showing grit on the road.”
