April 14, 2021 | Women's Soccer
BOSTON – Making its return to the Patriot League Tournament, the Boston University women's soccer team went toe-to-toe with Colgate, but the Raiders ended BU's postseason run in double overtime to advance to the championship game with a 1-0 decision.
Hosting its first playoff game since the 2018 Patriot League championship game, BU (2-2-1, 2-1-1 PL) and Colgate (4-3-1, 3-3-1 PL) exchanged fields for 90 minutes before heading to overtime. The Raiders drove down the wing to start the second frame of overtime, where Adrienne Vaughn sent a cross to Sage DiGiulio, who sent in a one-timer right in front of the six-yard box to end the game.
