HAMILTON, N.Y. — The Boston University women's lacrosse team could not complete a comeback against the Colgate Raiders at Crown Field Wednesday night, falling 14-10.

The Terriers (7-7, 2-5 PL) whittled a five-goal deficit to just one with 12:09 left in the contest, but could not get the tying goal against the Raiders (8-6, 4-3 PL) on the road.

The Raiders started off hot, scoring the first three goals before the Terriers answered with three of their own tallies. But the Raiders rattled off five straight goals and used the momentum to take a 9-6 halftime lead that ultimately never wavered.

HOW IT HAPPENED

The Raiders grabbed the first three goals of the game, grabbing a 3-0 lead with 9:35 to play in the first quarter.
Graduate student Kendall Sims grabbed the Terriers' first draw control of the game and then scored BU's first goal of the game off a free position.
Junior Jayne Feeney grabbed the next goal for BU, knifing through the defense and finishing over the goalkeeper to make it 3-2 with 6:31 left in the first.
Then junior Leah Hodgins tied the game, dodging her defender and scoring to make it 3-3 with 5:42 to play.
The Raiders then went on their own three-goal stretch to close out the quarter, finishing off their last goal of the first with four seconds to play.
Colgate then scored twice to open the second quarter, taking an 8-3 lead with 14:05 to play in the half.
Senior Hannah Tillier scored with 12:33 remaining while up a player to make it 8-4.
Feeney then got her second of the game on an unassisted effort to cut the deficit to 8-5.
Colgate extended its lead to 9-5 with 1:46 remaining in the second, but with 31 seconds left in the half, Sims played a give-and-go game with sophomore Izabella Amonte to score and make it 9-6 entering the half.
Neither team scored for the first 6:33 of the third quarter, but junior Elle Stevenson opened the scoring in the second half with a goal at 8:27.
Just 39 seconds later, sophomore Tessa Geddes got on the scoresheet, finding the back of the net with 7:48 to play in the third, making it 9-8 Colgate.
The Raiders kept BU off the scoreboard for the rest of the third and scored twice more, but the second goal was waved off due to a crease violation, meaning the Raiders would take a 10-8 lead into the final frame.
Feeney capped her hat trick with a free position goal at 12:09 in the fourth quarter to make it a one-goal game.
But the Raiders, as they had all night, answered and scored twice in 43 seconds to make it 12-9 with 10:08 to play.
Stevenson scored again for BU, but the goal proved to be too little, too late as Colgate held the Terriers scoreless for the final 9:23 and scored two goals of its own.
