Box Score Box Score Highlights

BOSTON – The Boston University women's soccer team saw its Senior Day spoiled as Colgate handed the Terriers a 1-0 defeat Saturday afternoon at Nickerson Field.

Despite controlling possession for the majority of the game, Colgate made its chances count, heading in a feed off a corner kick for the game-winner in the 63rd minute.

With the loss, BU saw its 53-game unbeaten in home conference games streak snapped, which was the longest active streak in the NCAA.

How It Happened

BU maintained possession from opening whistle, as Julianna Stureman and Anna Heilferty both stroked quality looks within the first 10 minutes of play.
Colgate turned the momentum in its favor, firing off five shots over an eight-minute span, including two on goal, but the Terrier defense held and regained control of possession.
Chloee Sagmoe was able to strike BU's first shot on goal in the 27th minute, bending a ball that landed in arms of Colgate's keeper.
Morgan Messner made a spectacular punch-out save in the 35th minute, fending off a quality chance from 12 yards out, keeping the game scoreless at the half.
BU earned its first two corners in the 52nd and 54th minute, but couldn't get a shot off from either set piece.
Messner made another highlight-reel save in the 62nd minute, making a diving stop to prevent a sure-fire goal directed towards the inside post.
After the Terriers fended off the initial corner, Leah Lewis headed in the ensuing set piece by Julia Lindsey to put the Raiders on the board.
BU responded on the attack with shots by Geovanna Pereira and Caitlyn DiSarcina in the 65th and 71st minute.
Kate Collins nearly drove in the equalizer from 30 yards out in the 85th minute, but the ball bounced off the crossbar.
Pereira had two chances in front of the net in the final five minutes, but Colgate's Sophia Boggs held her line to preserve the shutout.
