Junior goalkeeper Natalie Aiosa made five saves in the second half and nine overall.
Geddes was named the Patriot League Midfielder of the Week on Monday (April 20) after she powered the Terriers to a 2-0 week after scoring seven total goals and notching an assist against Bucknell and Colgate.
Her award is the Terriers' first Midfielder of the Week honor since 2023.
She currently has 182 career draw controls, which ranks tied for fifth all-time at BU with current head coach Lauren Morton.
With three goals at Bucknell, she became the first Terrier to score 40 goals in a season since 2017, when Mackenzie Larivee had 40.
Stevenson now sits at 91 career goals.
Siri Hodgins enters the weekend ranked third in the Patriot League and 25th in NCAA DI in caused turnovers per game with 2.17.
She has 36 caused turnovers, the most in a season since Gabby Juocys caused 41 in 2002. Juocys' mark is the program record for CT in a season.
Aiosa earned a Patriot League honorable mention after recording a .481 save percentage and 7.00 GAA in the wins over Bucknell and Colgate.

2025 All-Patriot League First Team honoree Racheli Levy-Smith has been outstanding on both the draw and the defensive side, totalling 158 draw controls, 37 caused turnovers and 36 ground balls, all three of which rank in the top five in the Patriot League.
