BOSTON – Hosting former America East rival Stony Brook Wednesday night at Nickerson Field, the Boston University women's team struck in each half is it picked up a 2-0 shutout over the Seawolves.
Caitlyn DiSarcina delivered the game-winning goal, striking with her first career goal as a Terrier in the 36th minute.
Julianna Stureman also roped her first career goal, adding an insurance score in the 81st minute.
Amanda Fay was phenomenal in net, making five saves to record her second straight clean sheet.
How It Happened
- Fay passed an early test by the Seawolves, making a diving stop to her right in the 3rd minute.
- The junior remained steadfast in between the pipes, making three stops on Stony Brook breakaways within the first 24 minutes.
- With the Terriers reversing the field, Kate Collins found Ashley Raphael on a throw-in from the left wing in the 36th minute.
- Raphael fed DiSarcina sprinting towards the center of the field, who ripped a one-timer from 25 yards out that Stonybrook's keeper got her fingertips on, though the momentum was too much to handle as the ball landed in the back of the net.
- Stony Brook nearly delivered the equalizer three minutes into the second half, but Fay made a spectacular one-handed save to halt another breakaway chance.
- Stureman put the exclamation point on the night by taking advantage of a failed Seawolves clearance, arcing a one-timer off a deflection from 30 yards out that landed just under the crossbar.
