B.U. will now host Rider University, the champions of the Northeast Conference, in an NCAA play-in game on November 7 at 1 p.m. on Nickerson Field. It is the second-straight conference championship for the Terriers, and fourth overall. I couldn't be more proud of this team.
Today is the result of hard work, sweat and tears that began last summer.
It was like riding waves today and we kept finding the crest. With overtime looming, it was Strauss, a redshirt last season, who provided the Terriers with the winning goal. Off a scramble in front, the ball got behind Agulay, where Strauss was there to sweep it into the cage for her fifth goal on the season. The Wildcats attempted to gain a penalty corner in the closing seconds, but the Terrier defense stood tall and sealed the victory with smart positional play. It was a measure of revenge for the Terriers, who lost a tough 2- 1, double overtime game at New Hampshire on October 11.
