Soccer Caps Homestand against Boston College

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The University of Miami soccer team will play the last of three straight home matches Sunday against Boston College.

The Hurricanes are set to square off with the Eagles at noon at Cobb Stadium. The teams have split their last four matches evenly, with victories each way bookending a pair of draws.

Miami heads into Sunday’s affair with a 4-6-0 (0-4-0 ACC) thus far in its 2017 campaign. Of the Hurricanes’ six defeats, three of them have come with a 1-0 final score.

Boston College is 8-5-1 (2-2-1 ACC) on the year and is coming off a 2016 season in which it finished 11-7-1 (3-7-0).

The matchup will feature siblings facing one another, as Miami junior midfielder Niccola Venezia’s sister, Francesca, is a sophomore forward for the Eagles.
