HAMILTON, N.Y. – Freshman Timmy Ley tallied four goals and sophomore Chris Gray recorded five assists, but the Boston University men's lacrosse team suffered a 9-7 setback at Colgate on Saturday afternoon.

The Terriers jumped out to a 3-0 lead, but a 6-0 run from the Raiders helped them gain a lead they never relinquished.  BU (5-2, 0-1 PL) had its four-game win streak snapped with the loss to Colgate (3-2, 1-1 PL). 

Senior James Burr notched two goals and two assists for his fourth straight game with four or more points. Freshman defender Will Carson collected his first collegiate goal and also gathered two ground balls. Senior Quintin Germain secured three ground balls and was one of five Terriers to cause a Colgate turnover. Junior Joe McSorley made 13 saves and also had two ground balls. Sophomore Sean Christman won six faceoffs and tallied five ground balls.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• The Terriers opened the scoring with 10:43 left in the first quarter on an EMO when Ley caught a Gray pass at the crease and beat the goalkeeper.
• Burr made it 2-0 at 9:13 when he stepped into a shot from distance off a feed from Gray.
• Carson collected his first collegiate goal with 3:42 remaining in the quarter. Carson carried the ball into the box and fired a shot that Connor Mullen turned aside. Burr picked up the rebound and flipped it back to Carson at the crease, and the freshman defender converted to make it 3-0.
• Colgate scored with four seconds to play in the quarter to cut the deficit to 3-1. That sparked a 6-0 run to lift the Raiders to a 6-3 lead.
• Ley scored late in the second stanza to make it a 6-4 game at halftime.
• BU needed just seven seconds to open the scoring in the third quarter. Christman won the faceoff and dished the ball to Gray, who then quickly found Burr for the goal.
• Ley twice answered Colgate goals to keep the Terriers within one at 8-7 entering the fourth quarter.
• The Raiders extended their lead to 9-7 with 10:50 to play, and that proved to be the final goal of the game.
