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.
