BOSTON — The Boston University women's lacrosse team came back to defeat the Marist Red Foxes, 11-8, on Tuesday evening.

The Terriers (3-1) were held scoreless in the first quarter, but outscored Marist (1-2) 11-3 over the final three quarters and held the Red Foxes off the scoresheet in the second half to earn the win.

For the second straight game, senior Elle Stevenson notched four goals. The rest of the offense was balanced, as Stevenson was on the scoresheet joined by classmate Jayne Feeney (2 goals), junior Izabella Amonte (1), junior Tessa Geddes (1), senior Leah Hodgins (1), junior Reilly Walsh (1) and freshman Makenzie McDevitt (1).

In net, junior Natalie Aiosa made 12 saves, including seven in the second half that kept the Red Foxes off the board.

HOW IT HAPPENED

The Red Foxes made their mark on the scoresheet first, potting a goal 3:10 into the contest.
They would score four more times in the first quarter and took a 5-0 lead into the second quarter.
BU got on the board in the second quarter with Stevenson's tally while down a player, scoring in transition off a pass from Geddes, turning all the momentum in BU's direction.
The next tally came from McDevitt off a free position with 10:25 remaining.
Geddes was the next scorer, also off a free position, with 7:06 remaining in the half.
Feeney potted her first goal of the game with 5:49 left in the half, taking a feed from McDevitt that threaded the needle into the slot and burying the goal.
BU tied the game with 4:37 left in the half as Walsh went behind-the-back for a highlight-reel goal off an assist from Feeney.
The Red Foxes would not quit, however, and answered with back-too-back goals.
Feeney would score her second with 2:04 remaining in the half to try and cut the Marist run, but another Red Foxes goal gave them an 8-6 lead heading to the half.
After the break, neither team found the scoreboard until the scoreboard showed 5:17 in the third quarter.
From there, Stevenson received a pass from junior Alyssa Mozi and fired home her second goal of the game.
Just 1:25 later, Stevenson once again found the back of the net — this time off a free position — tying the game at 8-8.
With 2:02 remaining in the quarter, Amonte gave BU the lead for good as she darted toward the crease from below the goal and snuck a low shot through the goalkeeper's legs.
The Terriers would score twice in the fourth, as Hodgins took an Amonte pass and came up from behind the goal to make it 10-8 BU.
Stevenson would have the final say in the game, as she was delivered the ball from freshman Gabby O'Brien and fired home her fourth goal of the game with 6:53 left.

GAME NOTES

With Aiosa's 12 saves, she has surpassed 300 career saves and sits at 307.
She is just the sixth goaltender in BU history to surpass that mark.
Stevenson's four-goal performance is her second in as many games this season.
It marks the third time she has had back-to-back four goal games in her career.
O'Brien's assist marked her first career point.
Hodgins' goal extended her points streak to 13 games, dating back to the 2025 season.
The Terriers are now 1-0 against Marist all-time.
The Red Foxes were the fifth unique MAAC opponent BU has played over the past two seasons — the Terriers are 4-2 against those opponents in that time.
