How It Happened

BU opened up the game on the attacking end, playing two corner kicks in the 9th minute, though couldn't get a quality shot off.
The Terriers followed with four shots over the next 15 minutes, continuing its command in its offensive third.
Anna Heilferty had the best look of the opening half, creating space at the top of the 18-yard box before lining a shot that veered just wide of the right post in the 35th minute.
The Terriers opened the second half with a trio of shots over the first 10 minutes, led by two from Chelsea Churchill.
Amanda Fay made a spectacular save in the 57th minute, halting a blast from 10 yards out to keep the game scoreless.
BU's backline was equally steadfast, clearing four straight Raider corner kicks in a four-minute span.
Turning the possession back in its favor, Kelly Park sent a ball toward the box from the right wing in the 78th minute.
While Colgate's keeper left her post, Shannon Keefe lunged for a piece of the ball before Wilcox controlled it and took a touch before sliding it past the keeper.
