BOSTON – Despite holding a 25-1 shot advantage, Marquette made its lone shot count as it topped the Boston University women's soccer team, 1-0, Friday night at Nickerson Field.

The Terriers controlled the tempo and possession for the majority of the game, though the Golden Eagles scored the game-winning goal in the 22nd minute on a one-timer just inside the six-yard box. BU also held an 11-0 advantage in corner kicks and tallied seven shots on frame.

How it Happened

BU came storming out of the gates, applying heavy pressure in the Golden Eagle's defensive third and piled on seven shots during the opening 20-minute stretch.
Working in transition, Marquette cashed in on its lone shot of the game, sending in a sliding one-timer just inside the six-yard box on a cross from 20 yards out on the left side.
Erin Neville nearly tied the game up in the 66th minute, blasting a shot from well outside the box that banged off the crossbar. Kiana Ghamarifard followed with a rebound right in front of the net that was blocked.
None of BU's shots for the remainder of the game would make it on frame, as four of its last six shots were blocked.
