SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Sophomore Jack Burgess scored his first collegiate goal, but Boston College's second half comeback came up just short in a 2-1 ACC defeat to Notre Dame on Friday night at Alumni Stadium.
Playing without starting defenders Victor Souza and CJ Williams, the Eagles (2-4-3, 0-3-1 ACC) conceded the game's first goal in the 17th minute. Wyatt Borso collected a cross on the edge of the 18-yard box and curled a left-footed shot inside the far post to beat Leon Musial.
Notre Dame (5-3-1, 2-2-0 ACC) doubled its lead just before halftime in the 41st minute on a right-footed near post finish from Eno Nto, who ran onto a flick-on header from Daniel Russo on the edge of the 18.
