October 3, 2004 | Women's Soccer
BURLINGTON, VT-The University of Vermont women's soccer team scored three times in the first half en route to a 4-0 upset win over Boston University in an America East women's soccer match on Sunday afternoon, Oct. 3.
For the Terriers, who entered the game ranked number one in the Northeast Region and 26th in the nation, the loss dropped their overall record to 9-2-1 and 1-1-0 in the conference. In the meantime, the Catamounts improved to 6-4-1 overall and 1-1-0 in the league.
Picked to finish ninth in the pre-season poll of the 10 conference coaches, Vermont scored the only goal it would need at 19:21 of the match when Amy Cochran, who finished the game with five points, scored the first of her two goals of the afternoon. She picked up the ball off a scramble, and her shot from six yards out, beat Terrier starting goalkeeper Stephanie Dreyer (New Rochelle, NY).
Cochran scored again at 27:04 when she took a pass from Cass VanLeeuwen and fired a shot that found the near post. VanLeeuwen finished off the Catamounts' first-half scoring when she converted on a cross from 10 yards out.
The Terriers outshot Vermont, 9-5, in the first half but could not get the ball past UVM keeper Lindsay Carfagna.
B.U. dominated the statistics in the second half, outshooting the Catamounts, 14-2, and holding the edge in corner kicks, 4-2. But, again, they could not beat Carfagna, who had six saves in the second half and 11 for the game.
Libby Wood closed out the scoring at 79:51 when she got the ball from Cochran and beat Terrier keeper Christina Reuter (Madison, WI) from eight yards out.
It was just the second time in nine tries dating back to the 1996 season that Vermont has beaten the Terriers, and the first time the Catamounts have shut out B.U.
