PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Opening a two-game road trip, the Boston University men's soccer team fell at Brown, 5-1, on Tuesday night.

Freshman Markus Ramsey netted his first career goal in the second half off senior Daniel Kim's corner kick after the Bears (2-2-1) scored all five of their goals during the first 45 minutes of action against the Terriers (1-2-4).

HOW IT HAPPENED

BU suffered an unlucky break in the fourth minute when a long pass deflected off a Terrier right to Lorenzo Amaral, who ripped a 20-yard shot high over the outstretched arms of graduate student Andrew Wike.
The Terriers earned a corner in the 12th minute, but junior Diego Rived's header sailed high over the crossbar.
The Bears struck again with Stefano D'Agostini heading in a curling free kick from Amaral at 17:28.
Mads Stistrup Petersen added another goal in the 38th minute on the run with a 25-yard low shot inside the right post.
Brown added two more goals off set pieces, first on Amaral's curling and high-arching free kick at 39:42.
Petersen followed up with a corner kick that bounced off the far post right to the foot of Andre Romo for a quick strike and 5-0 lead.
In the second half, the Terriers posted a 4-3 advantage in shots with Henrik Weiper earning two saves for the Bears.
Ramsey helped BU avoid the shutout by firing a low shot from the top of the box through a wall of players at 89:05.

GAME NOTES

Ramsey became the seventh Terrier to score a goal this season.
Kim now owns a team-high two assists and is tied with reigning Patriot League Offensive Player of the Week Andrea Di Blasio at four points apiece.
Wike earned two saves in the first half, and junior Ben Alexander added a save in the second half.
Sophomore Charlie Tuckerman led BU with three shots, including two on goal.
Brown finished with a 15-6 lead in shots and 6-5 edge in corner kicks.
The Bears became the first opponent to score five goals since BU dropped a 5-3 decision at Lehigh in 2021.

UP NEXT

The Terriers will return to Patriot League play with a flight down south to Loyola Maryland on Saturday (Sept. 21) at 3 p.m.
BU has won the last two meetings with a 3-1 home victory last fall and a 1-0 road win in 2022.
