Box Score Lauren Morton - Postgame Interview Highlights

BOSTON — The Boston University women's lacrosse team was bested in double overtime by the Lehigh Mountain Hawks, 11-10, on Saturday at Nickerson Field.

The Terriers (6-8, 2-4 PL) had to fight back from multiple fourth-quarter deficits to tie the game and send it to overtime, but it was Lehigh (6-8, 1-6 PL) who ultimately earned the win with five seconds left in the second overtime frame.

BU was led on attack by junior Izabella Amonte, who scored four goals and notched an assist. Graduate student Abby Cotraro scored two goals and had an assist, senior Alyssa Mozi notched a goal and two assists, junior Tessa Geddes had two goals and senior Jayne Feeney scored a goal for the Terriers.

Juniors Natalie Aiosa and Zoe Inglis split time in net, as Aiosa started the game, was replaced by Inglis in the second quarter, and then re-entered the game in the fourth and played the overtime period. She had 32:27 of game time and made six saves on 11 shots on goal. Inglis played 37:28 and made six saves on 12 shots on goal.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Amonte opened up the game with a goal 1:02 into the contest, firing home a free position shot toward the bottom-left corner of the goal.
The Mountain Hawks went on a three-goal run in the first before the Terriers would score again.
With 32 seconds remaining in the first, Geddes bounced a free-position shot past the goalkeeper to cut the deficit to 3-2.
In the second quarter, the Mountain Hawks' zone defense stifled BU's offensive attack, not allowing a goal until there was 4:26 remaining in the half. The Mountain Hawks also scored twice in that span.
Feeney would break the scoreless spell, knifing her way through four defenders before getting her shot off and scoring to make it 5-3 Lehigh.
Out of the half, Amonte found the back of the net again. She took a feed from graduate student Abby Cotraro in the middle of the arc and while falling down, shoveled the ball past the Lehigh goalkeeper on the bounce to bring BU within a goal.
Lehigh responded with a goal of its own before Geddes got her second of the game, dodging through contact to make it a 6-5 game with 7:11 remaining in the third quarter.
Mozi tied the game with 3:18 remaining, taking a backed-up shot and sprinting from X to the front of the cage and scoring.
The Mountain Hawks would take a 7-6 lead into the final frame, however, as they scored on a free position with 1:30 on the clock in the third.
After Lehigh went up 8-6 in the fourth, Cotraro reared back and fired in transition and beat the goalkeeper over her left shoulder with 9:22 remaining.
BU would tie the game with 5:30 left on a player-down goal. Mozi fed to Amonte from X and as the shot clock wound down, Amonte scored to make it 8-8.
Once again, Lehigh answered, scoring twice in 31 seconds of play to take a 10-8 lead.
BU would win a critical draw and Amonte scored again, taking a feed from Mozi as she cut down toward the goal and beating the keeper with 2:27.
Another draw control for the Terriers led to a goal just 25 seconds later, as Cotraro curled around the cage and took a pass from freshman Avery Cutair before scoring, tying the game at 10-10 and sending it to overtime.
The first overtime period saw a combined three shots on goal, and junior keeper Natalie Aiosa stopped two shots in the frame, but neither team tallied a goal in five minutes.
BU had almost a minute of two-player-up time to open the second overtime frame, but failed to score in that time.
After multiple chances, Lehigh broke through with five seconds remaining in double overtime and won.
