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.
