IOWA CITY, Iowa – Senior Mikayla Crowley scored early in the fourth quarter to break a 1-1 tie and push the Boston University field hockey team to a 2-1 victory over Saint Louis a neutral-site contest at Grant Field on Saturday afternoon.

BU quickly opened the scoring on a corner goal from junior Tess Csejka in the third minute. SLU got an equalizer just over a minute later and the score remained 1-1 for over 43 minutes of play.

The Terriers improve to 2-2 while the Billikens move to 0-3.

HOW IT HAPPENED

BU came out of the gates strong, quickly earning three straight corners and using the last one to get on the board first.
Csejka notched her third goal of the season at the 2:19 mark with an assist from sophomore Katie Devine.
The Billikens did not trail for long, however, as Olivia French dribbled through the circle just over a minute later and found the back of the cage at 3:28.
BU had a 7-1 shot advantage after the first quarter and earned the first six corners of the game.
SLU had the lone corner of the second quarter but senior Caroline Kelly came up with a save to keep the game tied.
The Terriers had a 5-0 edge in shots during the third quarter but only one was on goal and SLU netminder Sasha Sander made a stop on it.
BU kept the momentum going into the final quarter and produced the game-winner.
Crowley took a long pass from senior Ellie McIntyre before notching her second goal of the season at the 46:39 mark.
The Billikens pulled Sander with two minutes to play in favor of an extra attacker and earned a corner with just over a minute to play.
Junior Kate Thomason made a save on the late corner to preserve the lead and seal the victory.
