ALBANY, N.Y. - Facing their second participant from the 2016 NCAA tournament in three games, the Boston University men's soccer team fell at Albany, 3-0, on Tuesday night.

The Great Danes (3-1-0) struck first in the 15th minute and added scores in the 35th and 50th minutes, respectively, to hand the Terriers (0-4-0) their fourth-straight loss

HOW IT HAPPENED

• The Terriers dominated possession for most of the first half but were unable to convert on two corner kicks and put two shot attempts on goal.
• In the 15th minute, BU was unable to clear a cross, allowing the Great Danes' Afonso Pinheiro to fire a hard shot attempt and Nico Solabarrieta to pounce on the rebound for the 1-0 lead following freshman William Bonnelyche's save.
• Seeking an equalizer, BU kept the pressure on with two more corners and a free kick attempt that led to senior Adam Sheikali's header, but Albany withstood the multiple charges to maintain the one-goal advantage.
• The Great Danes extended their lead at 34:14 when Pinheiro managed to send a low grounder through two BU defenders at the left post from the opposite corner.
• BU earned a free kick just outside Albany's box 10 minutes later, but the Great Danes blocked junior Troy Phoa's hard attempt and saved another shot by freshman Elias Lampis.
• Albany added one more score at 49:02 after Carlos Clark collected a centering lob from Daniel Krutzen and shot past Bonnelyche toward the left post.

GAME NOTES

• BU finished with a 5-0 advantage in corners but only had one attempt in the second half.
• BU finished tied with Albany in shots, 10-10, with 10 different Terriers registering an attempt.
• Albany's Lucas Vallilo stopped attempts from Lampis, junior T.J. Butzke, Sheikali and senior Eric Mubang for his second shutout of the year, while Bonnelyche had three saves of his own.
