LEWISBURG, Pa. – Helped by senior Eitan Rosen's 87th minute goal and a strong defensive effort, the Boston University men's soccer team claimed a 1-0 victory at Bucknell Saturday afternoon.

With their fifth shutout of the season, the Terriers improve to 8-3-4 and 5-1-1 in conference play, while the Bison drop to 1-10-3 (0-6-1 PL).

Rosen earned his team-leading seventh goal of the year after netting Tuesday's equalizer in the 81st minute against Northeastern. Senior Francesco Montali recorded three saves, and the backline delivered a fourth as well.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• Sophomore Quin DeLaMater put the first shot on net at 6:27 with a header. 
• Matthew Owusu's header went wide in the 12th minute for Bucknell's first shot.
• Montali easily saved a long attempt from Zane Domsohn at 40:21, and the Bison's backline blocked senior Ryan Lee's hard 15-yard shot in the final minute of the half to keep the game scoreless.
• Montali came off his line trying to scoop up a loose ball, but Charlie Holmes managed to get off a low shot at 53:44. 
• DeLaMater was in position for the team save and then helped BU clear the ensuing corner.
• The Terriers earned their first corner at 60:13, and senior Griffin Roach headed the ball wide.
• After Montali claimed his third save at 65:04, DeLaMater headed BU's 73rd-minute corner wide.
• The Terriers remained on the attack with senior Andrew Rent forcing a save at 79:26 and the Bison clearing a corner at 82:09.
• BU finally broke the scoreless deadlock in the 87th minute when Innes moved the ball through multiple defenders toward the box and a defender used a slide tackle to direct the ball right to freshman Jason Zacarias, who quickly found Rosen on the left side of the box for a hard roller inside the far post.
• Neither team attempted a shot in the final 3:44, as the Terriers snapped a three-game winless streak (0-1-2) on the season.
