Terriers Top No. 25 American, 2-1, to Stay Undefeated In PL

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Senior Mikayla Crowley assisted on both goals to push the Boston University field hockey team to a 2-1 road win over No. 25 American on Saturday at the Jacobs Recreational Complex. 

Junior Tess Csejka opened the scoring and freshman Amalia Preece provided the game-winner to help the Terriers improve to 3-0 in Patriot League play and 5-6 overall. 

Senior Caroline Kelly put together an eight-save performance with four stops in each half, allowing BU to knock off the defending league champion.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Each team recorded one shot on goal in the opening quarter but the score remained 0-0 entering the second quarter.
  • The Terriers got on the scoreboard first as Crowley intercepted a pass at the top of the AU zone and quickly created space while curling around a defender before finding Csejka at the left post at the 27:19 mark.
  • American knotted the game off a corner in the 33rd minute as Federica Turina Dellamaggiore pounced on a rebound and sent the ball to the boards for her seventh goal of the season.
  • BU regained the lead moments later when Crowley collected a loose ball off a rebound in the circle and spotted Preece open at the goalmoutth for the game-winner.
  • While holding on to the 2-1 lead, the Terriers were the better team in the fourth, allowing just one shot on goal while threatening to extend the lead on the other end. 
  • American earned back-to-back corners in the 58th minute but Kelly and the BU defense were up to the task and secured the victory.

  • Bryn Underwood recorded seven saves in goal for the Eagles.
