LEWISBURG, Pa. – The No. 15 Boston University field hockey team scored once in each half to snap a four-game skid and earn a 2-1 road victory over Bucknell on Saturday.

THE RUNDOWN

Final Score: #15 Boston University 2, Bucknell 1
Records: BU (8-4, 2-1 PL), Bucknell (4-7, 1-2 PL)
Location: Graham Field – Lewisburg, Pa.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Senior Amanda Cassera opened the scoring in the 21st minute and junior Allie Renzi added what would be a key insurance goal with 15 minutes left in regulation to lift the Terriers to the 2-1 victory.
After Renzi's tally made it a 2-0 contest, the Bison got on the board with 7:40 remaining in regulation.
BU hung on and earned its second Patriot League victory of the season, ending a four-game losing streak in the process.
Senior Hester van der Laan set up Cassera's goal, dribbling through the Bucknell defense before penetrating the circle up the middle. She drew in a defender and passed off to Cassera on the left side, where she sent home her team-leading sixth goal of the season at the 20:15 mark.
Renzi's marker came off one of BU's six penalty corners, as the junior collected a rebound off a shot by senior Taylor Blood and had a wide open shot that she converted at 55:00 for her fifth goal of the season.
Bucknell's Nicole Rupnik took advantage of a breakaway in the 63rd minute and ended senior goalkeeper Cammy Jensen's shutout bid.

GAME NOTES

BU held a commanding 13-3 shot advantage and earned six corners while giving up three.
Jensen only faced one other shot on goal, finishing the day with one save.
Emily Finn made one save in goal for the Bison.

BU is back in action next Saturday (Oct. 15) when it hosts Lehigh for a conference game.
