The two Boston College goalies must have thought they were trying out for the role of Custer in "The Little Big Horn." Throughout all but five minutes of the 80 minute context on Saturday the Women's soccer team peppered them with shots from all sides. When the smoke had cleared the statistics told the story: Radcliffe, 52 shots and five goals, B.C. one shot, no goals.

Coach Bob Scalise lauded the play of his backs after the game. "The halfbacks and fullbacks pinned B.C. into its own end. Whenever B.C. got the ball, either we made a good tackle or we stepped in front to intercept the ball on a pass."

The first Crimson goal, at 2:42 of the first half, followed an interception. Right wing Julie Brynteson blocked a B.C. goal kick and Ellen Hart tapped the rolling ball to Sue St. Louis, who banged it past startled B.C. goalie Tammy Thompson.

At 8:47, Brynteson helped set up another goal, making a left-footed cross that bounced out of goalie Thompson's hands, finding the ever-ready feet of Sue St. Louis, who calmly placed the ball into the empty net.

The Crimson did not cash in again until 35:55, when St. Louis's shot rebounded out to Ellen Hart who smashed the ball into the roof of the goal.

During the second half, Scalise rested most of his starters, but the bench did not lose the stranglehold over B.C. its teammates had gained in the first half. Reserve forward Sahy Kingsberg, a freshman, scored twice to bring the total to its final 5-0.

B.C. coach Michael LaVigne, thankful for small mercies, could be heard shouting out after B.C.'s first shot, with six minutes left in the game, "O.K., not bad, one shot for the game, not bad. Let's get another one."
