Men’s SoccerPack to play Boston College
Five days after its 0-0 tie against the No. 1 ranked Clemson Tigers, N.C. State will travel to Chestnut Hill, Mass., to play Boston College at 7 p.m. on the Newton Campus Soccer Field.
The Wolfpack is 3-5-1 overall and 1-2-1 in the ACC while the Eagles are 5-4-0 overall, but only 1-2-0 in the ACC.
State had lost three straight matches, but the tie against Clemson halted the losing streak.
Two of the next three games for the Pack are against non-ACC opponents. Its next ACC match is Oct. 8 against Virginia Tech.
