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.

  • 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

  • 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.
