The Scarlet Knights did something Thursday evening that the Friars’s previous five opponents could not: put a ball past a Providence goalie. Providence was the only team remaining in NCAA Division 1 soccer to not allow a goal this season prior to last night’s game.
The match at Yurcak took place on a sweltering, pizza oven type of night that featured sophomore keeper Olivia Bodmer squaring off against her older sister Emma, senior goalie for the Friars, who splits matches with teammate Katherine McElroy. It was the eighth NCAA match this season in which sisters have played against each other.
