Box Score

How It Happened:

Charlie Rugg slid through the box and managed to redirect Amit Aburmad's corner kick past Rhody keeper Peyton Warwick just 1:58 into the game, giving the tenth-ranked Boston College Eagles all they needed to get by Rhode Island on a rainy Friday night at the URI Soccer Complex. The Rams had their chances but were unable to put one past Eagles goalkeeper Justin Luthy, who finished with 12 saves on the night.
