BOSTON, Mass. - A strong defensive effort between Lehigh and Boston University led to a scoreless 80 minutes of play before the Terriers scored the game-winning goal in the 82nd minute.

Lehigh opened up the game with a shot from senior Mattie Murphy in the sixth minute. The Mountain Hawks and the Terriers battled for the next 15 minutes before Boston University put up two shots in two minutes.
With the score tied at 0-0, both teams entered the second half searching for a goal. Junior Alex Odle had the first shot of the second half that went just wide of the net. First-year Sophia Lis added two more shots for Lehigh as the Mountain Hawks continued to struggle to find the back of the net.
