Box Score Box Score

BALTIMORE, Md. – Returning to Patriot League play, the Boston University women's soccer team earned its third straight heart-stopping finish as it escaped with a 1-0 victory at Loyola Maryland Saturday at the Ridley Athletic Complex.

For the third straight game, the Terriers got on the board in the final three minutes of play, as an own goal by the Greyhounds paved the way for BU's fifth straight league shutout.

How It Happened

After getting settled to start the game, Anna Marie Jaworski served up back-to-back corner kicks in the 28th minute, though Loyola headed away both.
Shannon Keefe nearly broke the draw in the 41st minute, driving past the Greyhound backline, but Loyola's keeper slid out from her post and made a spectacular save.
Kelly Park followed with another quality look on goal, flicking a header in the 43rd minute that rimmed off the crossbar.
BU held an 8-1 advantage in shots and 4-0 command in shots on goal at the half.
The Terriers continued their late-game heroics as Jenna Oldham struck a cross towards the six-yard box that a Greyhound defender got a piece of.
Fortunately for BU, the ball lofted over the keeper's reach and into the back of the net.
