BOSTON - Traveling down the road to Harvard, the Boston University women's soccer team will dip from Patriot League play to close out its non-conference slate against the Crimson Tuesday night at Jordan Field.

Terrier Tidbits

Taylor Kofton netted the game-winning goal in the 88th minute on Friday to guide BU to its fourth straight shutout, defeating Navy 1-0.
Kofton was named the Patriot League Midfielder of the Week, while McKenna Kennedy earned Defensive Player of the Week honors.
Kennedy aided the backline to surrender just four shots to the Mids, including one in the first half.
BU has had at least one student-athlete earn a Patriot League weekly honor for three consecutive weeks, as Chelsea Churchill, Anna Heilferty and Morgan Messner have also earned the recognition.
With Friday's win, BU extended its undefeated in home conference games streak to 46, which is the longest active streak in the NCAA.
The Terriers have not allowed a goal in 449 minutes, which dates back to a penalty kick score in their Patriot League opener at American.
Anna Heilferty leads the team in goals (5), assists (4) and points (14).
Heilferty has already surpassed her point total from her PL Rookie of the Year campaign, matching in goals while surpassing assists and points by one apiece.
Head coach Nancy Feldman, the only coach in the program's 24-year history, has posted a 302-150-46 (.652) mark during her tenure at BU and owns a 394-168-55 (.683) career record.

Scouting Harvard

The Crimson blanked Cornell, 2-0, on Saturday to earn its fourth straight shutout.
Harvard has fared a 3-4 record in non-conference games and is currently tied for first play with a 2-0-1 in Ivy League play.
Senior Leah Mohammadi leads the Crimson in goals (5) and points (11).
Harvard's freshmen trio of Sophie Hirst, Taylor Nielsen and Trinity Thomas follow Mohammadi, as Hirst owns seven points and Neilsen and Thomas are right behind with four each.
In net, Danielle Etzel has started eight of the Crimson's contests, posting a 0.26 goals against average, which ranks second in the NCAA.

The Series

BU holds an 8-7-5 edge in the all-time series and has had the upper hand recently, winning seven of the last 11 games and has dropped only one contest during that stretch.
Four of the last seven matchups have gone into overtime, including two double overtime results.
Anna Heilferty delivered the game-winning goal in the 6th minute, while the defense limited Harvard to just six shots in last season's 1-0 win at Nickerson Field.

Up Next

The Terriers will venture outside of Boston for the first time in nearly a month as they visit Loyola Maryland on Saturday, Oct. 13 for a 1 p.m. match.
