TERRIER TIDBITS

• Before competing in its final non-conference game of the regular season, BU improved to 3-1-0 in the Patriot League standings on Friday night with a 1-0 road win over Lehigh. The Terriers then volunteered with set up and registration at the Boston Walk to Defeat ALS event on Sunday morning.

• Oldham now leads the Terriers in goals (4), assists (5) and points (13), with senior Margaret Berry (3g), sophomore Abigail McNulty (2g, 2a) and senior Amy Thompson (3g) tied for second on the squad at six points apiece.
