BOSTON – Playing its penultimate non-conference game of the 2022 season, the Boston University women's soccer program makes its way to New Hampshire on Sunday (Sept. 11). Opening kick is slated for 2 p.m.
 
The match will be the Terriers' last before Patriot League action begins next week. BU plays one final out-of-conference foe in Harvard next month. This is UNH's final non-conference tilt before the Wildcats open up America East play.

  • Sophomore Morgan Fagan scored her second goal of the season off her own rebound in the 13th minute.
  • Senior goalkeeper Gretchen Bennett only needed to make one save, a leaping effort in the 52nd minute to preserve BU's first shutout of the season.
  • Fagan's tally was just the second unassisted Terrier goal on the year.
  • The Terriers improved to 2-1 in away contests this year. BU has allowed two goals on just seven shots on target in those instances.
