BOSTON – Sophomore goalkeeper Bridget Carr recorded three saves in her first start of the season as the Boston University women's soccer program played Loyola Maryland to a 0-0 draw on Saturday afternoon at Nickerson Field.

BU (3-4-3, 0-1-1 PL) won the possession and posted a 21-7 advantage in shots but could not find the back of the net against Hannah Goetzer from the Greyhounds (3-2-5, 0-0-2 PL) to settle for one point at home.

Senior Giulianna Gianino led all student-athletes with eight shots, six fired on target. Sophomore Olivia Avellar was second on the Terriers with three shots.

Goetzer made a season-high nine saves for the Greyhounds. Savannah Manset led Loyola with two shots.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Carr needed just 2:49 to make her first save of the match, catching Riley Kennel's header on one bounce near the left post.
Loyola nearly scored in the 10th minute when a corner kick settled in a pile just in front of the goal line. The Greyhounds couldn't get a touch on the ball before the Terriers sent it away from danger.
Starting in the 21st minute, BU had three opportunities to score. Senior Helene Tyburczy ripped a long-distance chance that Goetzer pushed over the crossbar. Junior Ciara Kennedy sent a shot from the corner kick wide left, then Gianino's try moments later went off Goetzer's hand and off the left post.
With just over 11:30 until halftime, Manset worked in transition for a 1-on-1 opportunity with Carr from 15 yards out. Carr whipped her right hand on the try to redirect the ball to her right.
Junior Samantha Aronson was fed down the right sideline in the 42nd minute and approached the penalty box, but her right-footed kick couldn't tuck into the left post.
The Terriers had three more dangerous offensive chances in the 52nd minute. Senior Margy Porta had a one-timer atop the box sent away by Goetzer. Gianino secured the loose ball and was denied twice in a row, the latter just near the right post along the end line.
In the 81st minute, junior Ava Maguire dumped a pass to Gianino for a 15-yard blast that narrowly missed the upper-right corner, keeping the game scoreless.
Senior Mackenzie Stickelman attempted a shot inside the box with 20 seconds left in regulation, but the ball rolled wide left.
