BOSTON – Behind a balanced all-around effort and two goals from McKenna Doyle, the Boston University women's soccer team blanked Loyola, 3-0, Saturday afternoon in its Kick Out Cancer game.

Doyle scored twice in the second half, pushing in a pair of loose balls inside the six-yard box, while Anna Heilferty netted her team-best fifth goal of the season in the first half. 

The Terriers also raised over $1400 for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

How it Happened

• Loyola got the opening two shots of the game off within the first 10 minutes, though Amanda Fay was there for the easy saves.
• After a quiet start on the attack, BU ramped up the pressure midway through the half, and Chelsea Churchill fired off a shot just inside the box that was blocked by a Loyola defender.
• Battling for possession, Christina Wakefield got a foot on the loose ball and pushed it towards Heilferty, who ripped a one-timer just inside the left post to put the Terriers on the board in the 27th minute.
• Working off a corner kick, McKenna Doyle also cashed in on a loose ball in the box, slipping in a shot from just inside the six-yard box to further BU's lead in the 56th minute.
• Doyle showed her nose for the goal again in the 68th minute, sliding in another loose ball inside the box to push the score to 3-0.
