CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – The No. 12 Florida State soccer team (5-0-2) dominated Boston College (4-2-3), 6-0, in the ACC opener. With the win, the Seminoles are unbeaten in the last 16 games, good for the third-longest unbeaten streak in school history. FSU also improves to 7-2-2 in ACC openers since 2012. The garnet and gold have outscored their last four opponents 21-0 with four straight wins of five goals or more.
The Florida State offense struck early in the first half, thanks to the Seminole defense. Two steals in the Boston College final third led to two scores by Onyi Echegini. The Seminoles’ defense stifled the Eagles, allowing just six shots and one shot on goal, leading to Cristina Roque’s 30th career win, improving her career record to 30-0-8.
Just one minute and four seconds into the game the Seminoles took an early lead thanks to Echegini’s third goal of the season. After stealing a Boston College throw-in, Echegini worked her way to the left edge of the 18-yard box and fired one into the top right corner of the net across the BC keeper’s face.
