Carty's Header Advances Terriers to Patriot League Tournament Semifinals

BOSTON –  Hosting Lafayette in a Patriot League tournament quarterfinal match, Jacki Carty's header in the 75th minute proved to be the game-winning goal as the Boston University women's soccer topped Lafayette, 1-0, Tuesday night at Nickerson Field.

With the win, the Terriers will head to Annapolis, Maryland for the Patriot League tournament semifinals. BU will meet up with second-seeded Bucknell on Friday, Nov. 3 with kickoff slated for 7:35 p.m.

How it Happened
  • Carty nearly got on the board in the 15th minute, heading a feed from Rachel Bloznalis that just missed landing on goal.
  • Jesse Shreck just missed the frame 19th minute, striking a one-timer from Kelly Harris that went wide right.
  • Harris nearly got on on the board herself in the 38th minute, deking a defender at the backline and cutting back towards the center of the box before firing a shot that landed right in the hands of Lafayette's keeper.
  • The Leopards were held at bay by the Terrier defense throughout the game, though Lafayette missed a point-blank chance in the 64th minute, firing a breakaway shot directly at Amanda Fay.
  • On BU's ninth corner kick of the game, Anna Heilferty sent a ball towards the center of the box, where Carty snapped the ball inside the left post to give the Terriers the lead.
