BETHLEHEM, Pa. – In a matchup between two of the Patriot League's top defenses, the Boston University women's soccer team and Lehigh battled to a 0-0 double overtime draw Saturday afternoon at the Ulrich Sports Complex.

How it Happened

• Lehigh nearly got on the board in the 19th minute as Adrian Vitello ripped a shot that bounced of the left post.
• All four of BU's shots in the first half were on goal, though its opening four shots of the second half were either wide of the net or blocked.
• McKenna Doyle and Dorrie Varley-Barrett got off clean shots in the final four minutes of regulation, though BU would head into its third overtime contest of the season.
• Christina Wakefield nearly netted the golden goal five minutes into the first overtime, but Lehigh's Sam Miller came up with a full-extension diving save to her right to send the game into another extra frame. Miller finished with nine saves on the day.
• Jacki Carty had BU's best look of the game, launching a header off a corner kick at the five-minute mark of the second overtime, but it just missed crossing the goal line.

From Coach Feldman

• "This was a hard-fought match, which was expected as Lehigh is a quality team. The game had ebbs and flows, but I was proud of how we competed, particulary in overtime."
• "I like how our team is playing and trending right now with our mentality and toughness."
