BOSTON – Competing in its final game of the regular season, the Boston University men's soccer team fell to Colgate, 4-0, on Friday evening at Nickerson Field.

With the loss, the Terriers (7-8-3, 6-2-1 PL) will now have to await Saturday afternoon's Patriot League results (Loyola-Lafayette, Bucknell-Navy and Lehigh-Holy Cross) to learn their conference tournament seed and destination. They currently own a PL-high 19 points ahead of Loyola (18 pts.) and Lehigh (16 pts.) and can finish anywhere from first to third.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Colgate quickly pressured the Terriers to start the game and got on the board at 3:31 when Christian Clarke pounced on a loose ball in the box for the 1-0 advantage.
The Raiders doubled the lead at 21:50 when Steve DeLeo struck a low strike off Jared Stroud's cross and then added a third goal at 22:59 on Freddy Jonsson's blast that benefited from a redirection of the ball due to a deflection off a BU defender.
They added the fourth goal early in the second half utilizing a pair of headers after sophomore keeper Michael Bernardi tried to swat away a corner kick.
Jacob Harris posted seven saves, including two in the 49th minute during a scramble following a BU corner, to preserve the shutout.

GAME NOTES

BU finished with a 15-11 advantage in shots and 7-5 lead in corner kicks.
Freshman Peter Kargbo led BU with three shot attempts, while junior Josh Barkoff posted two on net.
The Terriers allowed four goals in a conference game after holding the previous nine Patriot League opponents to three combined goals.
Posting four goals for the second time this season following a 4-4 draw to Lehigh, Colgate became the first Patriot League opponent to score more than three goals in a game against the Terriers since they joined the conference in the summer of 2013.
