Bedoya's Late Goal Lifts No. 6 Boston College To 2-1 ACC Victory Over NC State

Junior midfielder Alejandro Bedoya netted the game-winning goal in the 88th minute off a cross from Greg O'Neil as sixth-ranked Boston College improved its Atlantic Coast Conference record to 3-0-0 with a dramatic 2-1 victory over North Carolina State on Sunday at Newton Campus Field.

BC freshman Shawn Chin scored early - at 22:25 - and the team maintained its one-goal lead for more than 60 minutes of play before NC State senior El Hadj Cisse tied the score late - at 85:38.

Just two minutes and four seconds after Cisse's equalizer, Bedoya beat Wolfpack goalkeeper Christopher Widman (seven saves) with a header to the game-winning score.

Chin gave BC the early lead when received a pass from senior Sherron Manswell on the right side. He made one move and beat Widman with a right-footed shot to the top corner from 22 yards. Junior Paul Gerstenberger also assisted on the score.
