NEWTON, Mass. – The Boston College men's soccer team played No. 25 Colgate to a 0-0 draw in a weather-shortened match at the Newton Campus Fields on Saturday afternoon, wrapping up the team's preseason exhibition schedule. BC will officially open the 2018 slate next Friday, Aug. 24, when the Eagles travel to Quinnipiac for a 4 p.m. match.
With inclement weather brewing on the outskirts of Newton, the teams elected to play three, 30 minute periods in lieu of the traditional two, 45 minute halves. The clock was stopped with 22:40 to play in the final third and the contest was eventually called due to lightning.
