Box Score

NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. — The Boston University women's lacrosse team rode a four-goal game from sophomore Tessa Geddes and a strong defensive effort to a 14-5 win over Iona Saturday afternoon at Mazzella Field.

The Terriers (3-2, 0-0 PL) outshot Iona 22-15 and drew 17 draws to the Gaels' six on Saturday afternoon, controlling the game. BU opened up the contest with a 6-1 lead after the first and never looked back.

Jayne Feeney notched the first goal of the contest with her fifth of the season just 1:06 into the first period.
The Gaels tied it with 11:07 left in the quarter while up a player.
From there, BU scored five straight to end the quarter, starting with Hannah Tillier potting one with 9:01 left to play in the first.
Alex Cutone found the back of the net next, scoring just 1:31 later off an assist from Kendall Sims.
Izabella Amonte got her ninth of the year with 2:02 to play in the period before Geddes scored her first of the game with 1:39 remaining in the quarter.

Geddes opened the third by securing her hat trick with 11:09 to play in the quarter, also starting a string of six straight goals for the Terriers.
Amonte got the next one at 6:39 in the third and junior Elle Stevenson put her sixth of the year in with 5:13 to play to make it 11-3.

Freshman Kaitlyn Barton had a career-high 10 draw controls — the fifth-most of any PL player in a game this season.
Sophomore Natalie Aiosa made 10 saves, notching her third straight contest where she's made 10-plus saves. She has accomplished that feat in four of five games this season and leads the NCAA in saves.
The Terriers are now 2-1 against opponents from the MAAC this season and have held three MAAC opponents to just 21 combined goals.
Amonte is the first Terrier to reach 10 goals this season. She also leads the team in points with 13.
Jones caused a turnover and picked up four ground balls in the win, and she now has caused at least one turnover in each of the five games BU has played this year.
