Slow Start Dooms Women’s Lacrosse As They Fall To Defending Champion Boston U, 12-8

Amanda Pappas scored two goals against defending champion Boston U.

The women’s lacrosse team gave up six early goals to Boston U, including three-straight in which they did not even touch the ball on the possession.

A slow start like that is too much for any team to come back from, much less against the defending conference champions, causing the retrievers to lose, 12-8.

Bria Phillips led the team with three goals while Amanda Pappas scored two against the Terriers.

Emily Coady broke the Terriers run with a goal at 18:44 off a pass from Alicia Krause as she came around from the back of the goal.

After struggling early Kate Quick was replaced by freshman Kendall Mason but did return to the game, making eight saves in 51:21.

The team trailed 9-4 at the half but did out play the Terriers in the second half as they outscored them, 4-3 after the break.
