BOSTON – To complete its four-game road swing, the Boston University women's soccer program it heads to Colgate on Wednesday (Sept. 21) in search of its second Patriot League win. Due to expected inclement weather in the forecast, opening kick has been moved up to 4:30 p.m.
 
The Terriers vie for a 2-0 league start for the first time since 2018. BU is 2-1 on its road stretch so far, and 3-2 outside of Boston this season.
 
Colgate is in the midst of three consecutive matches at home. Five of its eight contests have come in Hamilton, though the Raiders are 0-3-2 in those games.
 
TERRIER TIDBITS

• The Terriers opened up Patriot League action with a come-from-behind, 2-1 victory at Lafayette last Saturday (Sept. 17).
• Sophomore Morgan Fagan tallied the game-tying goal in the 58th minute, scoring on her birthday.
• Redshirt senior Amy Thompson, who celebrated her birthday earlier that week, proceeded to bury the game-deciding score just 3:49 later.
• BU's back line limited the Leopards to just one shot on goal.
• Redshirt senior Jenna Oldham picked up her first assist on the season on Fagan's strike. Oldham then proceeded to earn her first-career Patriot League Defensive Player of the Week honor on Monday (Sept. 19).
• Dating back to last year, BU is 6-0-1 in its last seven games when Oldham records a point.
• The Terriers generated a season-high 13 corner kicks in the match, their most in four seasons.
• With that effort, BU vaulted to 16th national with 7.22 corners per match. That mark is second only to Brown among schools based in the Northeast and tops in the Patriot League.
• Fagan has a three-game points streak, scoring two goals on three shots on target.
• Thompson ranks fourth in the league in shots (2.33 per game) and fifth in shots on goal (1.11 per match).

 
SCOUTING COLGATE

• The Raiders come into the game 0-6-2 on the season, most recently falling to Loyola Maryland 1-0 on Sept. 17.
• Colgate has lost three in row, and has not scored since the 26th minute against Princeton on Aug. 26, a total of over 514 minutes.
• However, the Colgate defense has allowed one or fewer goals in four of its last five contests.
• Ally Giovino has scored two of the Raiders' four goals this season. Grace Poncsak and Emma Hickey have combined for a .727 save percentage between the posts.

SERIES HISTORY
