Heilferty, Backline Pace Terriers to 1-0 Shutout vs. Harvard

BOSTON – Behind freshman Anna Heilferty's game-winning goal in the sixth minute, the Boston University women's soccer team closed out its non-conference slate with a 1-0 shutout over Harvard Wednesday night at Nickerson Field.

How it Happened
  • Working in transition, Christina Wakefield streaked down the middle of the field before splitting a pair of defenders with a through ball to Heilferty just inside the box.
  • With a trio of defenders closing in, Heilferty took a touch to her left before ripping her fourth score of the season into the back of the net.
  • Wakefield nearly netted a score of her own in the 37th minute, firing a shot that rimmed off the left post.
  • BU would continue to test Harvard's backline throughout the half, finishing with a 11-2 shot advantage after the opening stanza.
  • Harvard picked up its offense tempo in the second half, but had no answer for Heilferty's score, as BU held on for its seventh shutout of the season.
Game Notes
  • Amanda Fay earned her sixth shutout in between the pipes and finished with four saves.
  • BU registered a commanding 20-6 advantage in shots and held a 7-4 edge in shots on goal. The Terriers have now outshot their opponent in seven straight games.
  • The Terriers improved to 9-7-5 in the all-time series and won its first game against the Crimson since 2014.
  • Wednesday's result marked the fourth time in the last five contests between the Terriers and Crimson that was decided by one goal.
