BOSTON - Boston University broke a scoreless tie in the 55th minute and went on to net two more insurance goals to down the Lehigh women's soccer team 3-0 on Saturday. In their first season in the Patriot League, the Terriers improved to 3-1-0 in league play and 6-0-1 at home this season. Lehigh junior goalie Ashley Blanks made nine saves in the defeat.
Â
"I was pleased with the way we started the game in the first half," said Lehigh head coach Eric Lambinus. "We played the way I expected us to play, with good energy, high work rate and desire, but that can only carry us so far. There comes a time when we need to have belief and better execution. Today in the second half, we lacked both and that needs to change. We are going to struggle to win until we start believing in ourselves and executing in the critical moments."
Â
The Terriers held an 8-1 first-half edge in shots, but Blanks made four saves to keep the game scoreless after 45 minutes of play.
Â
Madison Clemens broke the tie and gave Boston University a lead that would stand at the 54:42 mark, firing one from the right corner of the box into the left side of the goal.
Â
Megan McGoldrick made it 2-0 off a one-timer in the 71st minute, while Jamie Turchi added an insurance goal at 82:52.
Â
"I want to compliment BU on their play," said Lambinus. "They are a highly talented team who believes they are going to win every game and executes accordingly. It is very obvious why they don't lose many games at home."
Â
Senior Murphee Greeley and junior Danielle Salans posted shots for Lehigh, with Salans firing Lehigh's only shot on goal. The Terriers held an 18-2 edge in that category while holding a 10-0 advantage in corner kicks. Blanks' nine saves came across Andrea Green who made one in the first 85:19 before being relieved by Briedget Conway.
Â
Lehigh returns to action next Saturday (Oct. 12) when it hosts Loyola, another new league opponent, at 7 p.m. at the Ulrich Sports Complex.
