Terriers Can’t Get Past Army In 13-7 Loss

BOSTON – Freshman Matty Spaeth matched her season-best with four goals, and junior Jennifer Barry controlled nine draws, but Army West Point's defense limited the Boston University women's lacrosse team in a 13-7 setback for the Terriers on Saturday afternoon at Nickerson Field in the 2022 Patriot League opener.

BU (0-7, 0-1 PL) and Army (6-2, 1-0 PL) were locked into a 3-3 contest after the first quarter. However, the Black Knights outscored the home team 10-4 the rest of the way, including a scoreless second quarter. The Terriers got to within 11-6 in the fourth quarter, but were held in check the rest of the way.

Freshmen Hannah Tillier and Kaylee Munster found the back of the net, while sophomore Tobey Tick was the oldest Terrier to score in the game. Junior Claire Gola added an assist, while sophomore Reilly Agres made 13 saves.

Kathleen Sullivan led all scorers with five goals and two assists. Julia Gorajek potted a pair of goals in a three-point afternoon. Lacey Bartholomay secured eight saves between the pipes.
