BOSTON, Mass. – Morgan Willis' goal helped Colgate take the initial lead of the match, but two late goals lifted Boston U. to a 2-1 conference victory on Friday evening.
Coach Terrett's Comments
"We played very well against a very good team and pushed them to the very end. We caused issues for them in both attacks and defense and we are disappointed not to have scored more goals. It is frustrating that we are so close to that breakout win but it is just outside of our grasp. We will keep pushing to get better and thank everyone for their support. It was lovely to see a large number of past players from a whole range of classes there to support and interact with the team post game."
