This week's installment of the NSCAA College Game of the Week on Fox Soccer Channel will have a distinctive New England flavor.

The men's game features Boston College (2-3-0) of the Atlantic Coast Conference visiting No. 14-ranked Boston University of the America East Conference on Friday (Sept. 18) on America’s Soccer Network. Kickoff for the game at Nickerson Field is set for 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

Boston College is coming off a 3-0 victory against Fairfield. Freshman forward Charlie Rugg notched his first two collegiate goals to pace the Eagles in the victory. BU posted a 1-0 upset of then-No. 4 St. John's in its last outing. The Terriers are led by junior forward Aaron O'Neal, who has four goals and 10 points. This will be the 45th career meeting between the city rivals, with Boston College holding a 19-17-8 advantage. BC took a 2-1 overtime home victory in the last meeting last season.

The first of eight women's games this season is featured on Sunday (Sept. 20) as Ivy League member Harvard (1-3-1) visits Boston University (2-3-2). The game at Nickerson Field gets underway at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT.

Both teams look to get back into a winning mode. Harvard is coming off a 3-2 loss at Hofstra, getting two goals from freshman forward Caroline Albanese, while BU was shut out 3-0 by Penn State in its last encounter. The Terriers are led by sophomore midfielder Jessica Luscinski and senior forward Farrell McClernon, who have scored two goals each. The Crimson holds a 6-1-3 all-time series lead after taking a 2-1 overtime victory over the Terriers in 2007.
