HAMILTON — Boston University scored a late penalty kick goal to defeat Colgate 1-0 on Senior Day Saturday afternoon.

COACH RONNING'S COMMENTS
"Today we saw a committed performance from the group, and were unfortunate not to earn a more positive outcome. We defended well as a team against a strong BU squad, and created a number of great  chances. I know tonight's result will instill a greater belief within the group and generate greater motivation as we head into the final stretch."
 

HOW IT HAPPENED

  • BU scored on the penalty kick in the 87th minute after drawing a foul in the box. Andrea Di Blasio converted the PK to put his team up 1-0.

  • Blake Pipkin scored what he thought was the go-ahead goal in the 81st minute, following the rebound of a shot by Colin Hughes that got saved, but it was called back after he was determined to be offside.

  • The Raiders earned their lone corner kick of the game in the 83rd minute. The ball got loose in the box, and the play was blown dead after a foul got called on the home side.

  • In the 79th minute, Jack Beerling had a good look from outside the box and took a rip that went over the crossbar.

  • The Raiders recorded two shots in the first half, with the initial coming right out of the gate. One minute in, Cason Stafford tried to put a shot in the bottom left corner, but he got denied by the goalie.

  • In the 30th minute, Wade Johnson took a rip that landed wide.

  • Colgate's backline held the Terriers scoreless in the first half despite BU recording five shots and two corners.

GAME NOTES

  • The Raiders held senior day before the game, honoring their eight members of the Class of 2025.

  • Oliver Townend made three saves in goals.
