BOSTON – Taking Nickerson Field on Senior Day, a pair of first-half scores from Jacki Carty fueled the Boston University women's soccer team to a 3-1 victory over Colgate on Saturday.

With the win, BU has clinched the No. 3 seed in the Patriot League tournament and will host a quarterfinal game on Tuesday, Oct. 31 against sixth-seeded Lafayette.

How it Happened

After a quiet start to the game, Carty started a scoring flurry in the 27th minute. With Rachel Bloznalis taking a free kick, Carty slipped past Colgate's backline and struck a left-footed one-timer into the back of the net to put the Terriers on the board.
Less than two minutes later, Carty found the back of the net again to give BU a two-goal edge. Working off a corner kick, BU peppered the ball around the box before McKenna Doyle sent a header towards the goal.
Carty crashed in towards the goal and extended her leg to get enough of the ball and guided it past the goal line.
Colgate had its turn at breaching the scoreboard just over a minute later, as Abby Sotomayor took advantage of a defensive lapse to put the Raiders within one.
Chelsea Churchill provided the exclamation point on the day with just over five minutes left, bending a shot from right corner of the 18-yard box that tucked inside the top left post for her first score of the season.

Game Notes

Hannah Ciolek, Christina Wakefield, Hannah Wilcox, Erin Neville, Alivya Wimmer, Jesse Shreck, Jacki Carty and Rachel Bloznalis were honored before the start of the game.
Each Terrier goal involved at least one senior, as Carty notched the first two goals, while Bloznalis and Neville each dished an assist.
Bloznalis tallied two assists for her first career multi-assist game.
The Terriers improved to 7-0-1 all-time against Colgate and extended their win streak over the Raiders to five.

Up Next

The Terriers will host a Patriot League tournament quarterfinal game at Nickerson Field on Tuesday, Oct. 31 against Lafayette.
BU came out on top, 3-0, in its regular season matchup in Easton against the Leopards. Jesse Shreck, Anna Heilferty and Shannon Keefe provided the scores for the Terriers.
Tuesday's contest will mark the first time BU will play Lafayette in the postseason as well as the first time the Terriers will play in a Patriot League tournament quarterfinal game.
