Boston College defeated the N.C. State 1-0 Sunday afternoon at the N.C. State Soccer Stadium. The game was the first loss of the season at home for the Wolfpack, who had been 7-0 on its own turf before this game. Despite the loss, the team played evenly with the No. 14 Eagles. The lone goal was scored off of a fluke chip shot. “It was kind of a freakish goal they scored today,” coach Laura Kerrigan said. “Rachel Barnette had a fantastic game in goal for us. I thought our defense was very solid today, and it’s unfortunate that they scored on that one.”The Pack moved into a new formation before the Clemson game last week, and that has contributed to the better play. “We just switched to a new formation, playing a 4-4-2, and it is working out so much better for us,” senior forward Lindsay Vera said. “It actually worked out really well today. This is probably the best we’ve played in the ACC so far.” Kerrigan said the reason for the change was because of the injuries to key players the team has faced all season. “The last couple games we’ve started to look at who we have on the team, and we switched our formation based on who we have and who is available to us,” Kerrigan said. The most notable injury was to sophomore forward Kara Baldy, who will be out for the remainder of the year, according to Kerrigan. “Kara tore her ACL, so she is out for the rest of the year,” she said. Baldy and Vera were the top scoring tandem in the ACC before her injury, and her absence has allowed State’s opponents to direct their attention to Vera. Every time Vera got the ball deep in Boston College’s end, the Eagles would double team the forward. And if Vera was somehow still able to make a play, Boston College’s coach would remind his team from the sidelines to “watch [No.] 13.” But the team refuses to make excuses despite the lack of offense since Baldy’s injury.  “Of course [Baldy] is a great player and scores a lot of goals for us, but I think a lot of forwards have stepped up and tried to fill her shoes,” sophomore defender Kaitlin Wescoe said.  This loss drops State to 0-5 in the ACC and 8-7 overall. The team plays its next game Friday at 7 p.m. against No. 2 North Carolina.
