BOSTON — The Boston University women's lacrosse team battled for 60 minutes but could not overcome the Brown Bears in a 10-8 loss on Tuesday afternoon at Nickerson Field.

The Terriers (4-4, 0-1 PL) cut a once-six goal deficit to just two with 1:01 to play, however the Bears (3-3, 1-0 Ivy) had cushioned themselves enough, using an 8-0 run over 37:36 in the middle of the game to hold on for the victory.

Once again leading the offensive charge was senior Elle Stevenson, who scored three goals in the game. She was helped by junior Reilly Walsh, who tallied both her goals in the final quarter and added an assist, and junior Izabella Amonte, who notched two goals. Also scoring for BU was freshman Avery Cutair, who also added an assist.

Junior Natalie Aiosa managed some impressive stops in net and made six saves overall.

The Terriers struck first, with Stevenson dodging right and firing from the eight-meter line to score with 11:43 left in the first.
Brown answered with 10:38 left in the first, but three saves from Aiosa and two caused turnovers by the Terriers kept the Bears off the board until the second.
Stevenson got her second goal with 6:20 left in the first, this time off a quick shot after Cutair found her cutting toward the net.
Then Amonte found the back of the net. Junior Tessa Geddes got the ball to Amonte in space, where she moved around a defender and went sideways on her shot to beat the Brown goalkeeper.
BU could not score in the second, and the Bears took the lead with three goals in the frame, two coming from free positions.
Brown also held BU scoreless in the third quarter, only scoring twice more in the frame. The Terriers did not allow a goal from open play in the frame as both goals were off free positions.
The Bears continued their run in the fourth, scoring three goals in just 2:46 of play, before the Terriers cut into the deficit.
Amonte scored her second goal of the game off a cut to the middle. She took a precise pass from Walsh and buried the shot to make it 9-4 with

The Terriers earned their first free position with 5:18 left, and Walsh found the back of the net to make it 9-6.
Brown added their 10^th goal with 3:04 left.
