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."
