Terriers Earn 3-2 Shootout Win at Brown

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Senior Katie Devine scored a pair of goals and was one of three Terriers to convert in a shootout to lead the Boston University field hockey team to a 3-2 road victory over Brown on Sunday afternoon at Goldberger Family Field.

Devine scored off corners in the 18th and 37th minutes to erase deficits of 1-0 and 2-0. After two scoreless overtimes, the game went to a shootout. BU never trailed in the shootout with junior Martu Coulo, Devine and senior Payton Anderson converting their chances before graduate student Kate Thomason sealed the win with a stop on Brown's final attempt. 

The Terriers improve to 2-2 on the year while the Bears drop to 0-2.

HOW IT HAPPENED

  • The lead did not last long, however, as BU scored on its first shot of the contest with Devine blasting a corner shot off Brown goalkeeper Kylee Del Monte and in at the 17:01 mark.
  • Sophomores Maddie Hudson and Bella Bergner picked up assists on the tally.
  • Driscoll came through with a huge defensive save off a corner in the 21st minute to keep the game tied.
