Box Score Box Score

LEWISBURG, Pa. – In a rematch of last season's Patriot League final, the Boston University women's soccer team could not overcome an early two-goal deficit as Bucknell came out on top, 2-1, Saturday afternoon at Emmitt Field.

Bucknell's Kendall Ham netted the opening two scores of the game, striking in the eighth and 32nd minute before Dorrie Varley-Barrett scored with under two minutes left before halftime to make it a one-goal game.

However, the score would hold as the Bison earned their third straight victory over the Terriers.

How it Happened

Ham, the reigning Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year, lofted in her first goal of the game in the eighth minute, striking a left-footed shot that arched in just under the crossbar.
Ham struck again in the 32nd minute, heading in a corner kick to extend the Bisons' command on the scoreboard.
With under two minutes left before the half, Varley-Barrett would have her chance at heading in a corner kick, as she found the back of the net off a feed from Erin Neville to put the Terriers within one.
BU would outshoot the Bison, 8-6, in the second half, though it was unable to deliver the equalizer.
