BOSTON — The Boston University women's lacrosse team lost 16-8 at home to the No. 25/22 Navy Midshipmen on Saturday afternoon.

The No. 25/22 Midshipmen (8-4, 3-1 PL) jumped out to an 8-1 lead after a quarter and never looked back, taking multiple 10-goal leads to put away the Terriers (7-4, 2-2 PL).

For BU, sophomore Izabella Amonte scored a team-leading four goals and increased her season total to 27, but the Mids overpowered BU on the draw with a 21-7 advantage and controlled the game.

HOW IT HAPPENED

The Midshipmen came out firing, scoring the first three goals of the game.

From there, Navy kept pushing the tempo, scoring five more goals in the first quarter to take an 8-1 lead into the second.
The second was more of the same for the Mids, as they jumped out to an 11-1 lead with 5:32 left to go in the first half despite goalkeeper Natalie Aiosa taking some opportunities away.
With 2:19 remaining in the second, sophomore forward Izabella Amonte got involved in the action, scoring her first goal of the game.

In the second half, Amonte got the scoring started with a goal at 10:08. Navy answered with 4:18 remaining in the third.
Junior Leah Hodgins got on the board with a goal with 2:10 left, but Navy responded with 1:15 on the clock in the third, taking a 14-5 lead into the final frame.
The Midshipmen scored twice in the first half of the final quarter to go up 16-5 with just over eight minutes to play.
Hodgins got her second of the game 6:20 before the end of the game and helped spark a three-goal Terrier run.
Amonte scored with 3:00 left and senior Avery Jones converted a free position with 29 seconds remaining, but the deficit was too large to overcome.
