Late Goal Lifts No. 24 Terriers Past Miami, 2-1

EVANSTON, Ill. - Sophomore Petra Hall scored the game-winning goal with three minutes left in regulation to lift the No. 24 Boston University field hockey team to a thrilling 2-1 come-from-behind victory over Miami in a neutral-site game at Lakeside Field. 

BU, which got a game-tying goal from senior Allie Doggett, moves to 3-2 on the year while the RedHawks slip to 3-4. 

HOW IT HAPPENED

  • Miami quickly earned the first corner of the game and subsequently scored off the first shot of the day.
  • A blast from the top of the circle by Mariona Heras found the top of the boards with assists going to Marie-Claire Gorner and Estel Roig just 2:24 into the contest
  • The Terrier defense did not allow a shot on goal the rest of the way, allowing the offense to put together a second-half comeback.
  • While the RedHawks scored quickly the opening half, the Terriers did the same in the latter half.  
  • Off a corner from the left side, senior Maika Akroyd slotted the ball towards the far post, where it went off a Miami defender right to Doggett, who punched it in for her second goal of the year at the 37:52 mark.
  • BU earned five more corners during the reminder of the contest but was not able to take advantage of them. 
  • Ten of BU's 13 shots on the day came after halftime and their final shot of the day resulted in the decisive tally.
  • Positioned above the left post, Hall lunged to get her stick on an entry ball from Doggett and then, while on the ground, poked a rebound past Miami netminder Maddie Passarella with three minutes left in regulation.

GAME NOTES

  • The game was one of the more physical games the Terriers have played in in recent memory with eight cards, including a 10-minute yellow, issued for a combined 36 minutes of penalty time.   
  • Four cards were given to each squad with Miami holding a 22-14 edge in minutes.
  • BU outshot the RedHawks, 13-5, and held a 10-4 edge in corners.
  • Senior Kathleen Keegan played a complete 70 minutes in goal for the first time in her career and picked up the win to move to 3-1 on the year. 
  • Passarella recorded four saves – all in the second half – in goal for Miami.
  • BU is now a perfect 5-0 all-time against the RedHawks.
  • Hall now has two game-winning goals on the season and three for her career.
