Box Score

BALTIMORE—The Boston University women's lacrosse team ended its season with a 13-7 loss to the third-seeded Loyola Maryland Greyhounds on Sunday (April 26) in the Patriot League Championship First Round.

The No. 6 seed Terriers (8-10, 4-5 PL), back in the Patriot League Championship for the first time since 2023, had a 6-5 lead at halftime, but after being shut out in the third quarter, could not recover in the fourth.

Senior Elle Stevenson scored four goals to lead BU. Junior Izabella Amonte, classmate Tessa Geddes and graduate student Abby Cotraro all tallied a goal. In cage, junior Natalie Aiosa made 10 saves.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Stevenson opened the scoring, dodging to the right from the top of the 12-meter arc and shielding her stick from her defender before firing the shot home with 12:35 remaining in the first.
After Loyola Maryland went up 2-1, Amonte got on the board on a cut through the zone, finishing off a pass from Avery Cutair with 4:56 left in the first.
Geddes gave BU its first lead of the afternoon with 2:19 on the clock in that quarter after dodging through a plethora of Greyhounds to punch it home.
Loyola Maryland would go on a three-goal run and had a 5-3 lead with under 10 minutes to play in the first half.
Stevenson began the Terriers' response with a shot from six meters out, beating the goalkeeper low and to her left.
Cotraro would tie it with 3:10 remaining in the first half, after a picture-perfect passing play set her up in the middle of the 8-meter arc for a score.
Stevenson notched a free-position goal with 50 seconds remaining in the second quarter that gave BU a 6-5 lead entering the break.
In the third, Loyola Maryland shut BU out and scored three goals.
After opening the fourth with an 8-6 lead, the Greyhounds scored three more goals before the Terriers could respond.
