Miami Heads North to Take on Boston College
CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The University of Miami soccer team is set to battle Boston College Thursday at 7 p.m. at Newton Campus Lacrosse and Soccer Field.
“We have to start fast. We have to be aggressive, understand risk vs. reward and work our game plan, regardless of their pressure or what’s happening in the game,” Miami head coach Sarah Barnes said when asked about the mindset needed heading into Thursday’s contest.
