Colgate Drops 3-1 Decision to BU
BOSTON — Colgate tied the game at 1-1 in the first quarter, but Boston University scored two goals to pull away and defeat the Raiders 3-1 Friday evening.
COACH CORNELL-DEANGELIS' COMMENTS
"We played a tough game with a lot of heart, and I am proud of how we competed. We had some key players that stepped up, made some big plays, and kept us in the game. We need to continue to shoot and draw more corners when we are in the circle. Unfortunately, BU was able to draw the corners, and Payton Anderson is a talented drag flicker for them. Lily had a great defensive save on one of the drags. Despite the loss, the team had fun. We really feel connected and want to take that energy into the next game."
HOW IT HAPPENED
- BU took a 1-0 lead just under three minutes into the first after Tess Csejka fired one home.
- Katie Convey then tied the game at 1-1 four minutes later. Lily Schoonmaker played a pass into the circle after a restart, and Convey collected it, firing a shot past the goalie.
- BU retook the lead with two and a half minutes left in the first when Payton Anderson found the back of the cage following a penalty corner.
- The Terriers extended their advantage to two six minutes into the third with Anderson's second of the contest.
- Hannah Marcotrigiano had back-to-back shots in the fourth quarter, firing one that got saved with 10 and a half minutes left and putting one wide 38 seconds later
