How It Happened

Rhode Island (4-2-2) broke its 234:25 scoring drought when a 38th-minute goal by Niklas Middrup put the Rams on top 1-0. Peder Kristiansen and Emil Jesman Sunde were credited with assists on the play as Kristiansen served a corner kick into the box, where Jesman Sunde skipped the ball to Middrup for the finish.

The Rams doubled their lead in the 59th minute when Chae Brangman buried a shot off a setup from Stavros Zarokostas and Joey Cain.

Ten minutes later, Boston College (3-6-0) cut it to 2-1, but the Eagles were unable to find the back of the net again after Luna Beto's goal.
