And? There are a handful of consistently top level programs. BC are not one of them. Thats said, on any given day the game can throw out results that dont reflect the game. One of the reasons soccer is a hard sell here.

Just lost to Rhode Island 3-2

In their defense, BC had girls on the pitch that did not a lot of time in the Fall, giving them some playing time. BC did not look terrible.

They gifted Rhode Island's 1st win of 2020-21. A look at their 2019 schedule, RI only had 4 wins; 1 conference. 2018 RI had zero wins. Zero.

Was BC's senior day. Shame. 1st win ever by RI against BC.

Agree with other poster. Unless you put a team away, they can wear you down.

As opposed to college basketball, for example. So predictable!

Agreed. It wasn't like BC put up a goose egg. They found the back of the net.

With you except for the last part. Every sport has this characteristic because you win on the scoreboard not the stat sheet. I'd also challenge what "reflects the game". It's a perfectly viable strategy in soccer to absorb pressure and wait for counterattacking opportunities. If a team does that effectively, wins the game but loses the possession 65% to 35% have they won in a way that doesn't "reflect the game"? Not saying that's what happened here but too many times I've seen people commenting on one team "dominating" because they win the possession battle but don't score, don't create particularly dangerous chances, have double digit shots attempts from long range as they get frustrated and lose 2-0 because the other team made good on 2 of their 6 legit counterattacking opportunities and the "dominant" team was clearly disorganized on defense when under quickly developing pressure.

I don’t understand what the debate is. It was not a 1-0 game. There were 5 goals, 3 let up by BC. BC was beaten.
