BOSTON \u2014\u00a0<\/span>A late Terrier rally to tie the game came up short Tuesday night, as the Harvard Crimson defeated Boston University Field Hockey, 2-1, at Berylson Family Field. The loss marked the final game on the road for the Terriers in the regular season, as only a meeting with Bucknell on Saturday stands between BU and the postseason.<\/span><\/p>\n Freshman Petra Hall notched the only goal of the night for the Terriers, her fifth on the year. The score came in the eighth minute of play, after junior Kara Enoch smacked the ball inside the circle where Hall was able to redirect it past Crimson goalkeeper Libby Manela. With the loss, BU falls to 10-7, though is still an undefeated 5-0 in Patriot League action.<\/span><\/p>\n Physicality marked the tone of Tuesday\u2019s contest. For most of the full 70 minutes of play, both sides exhibited in-your-face defense and played with the emotion of an intense playoff game. BU did not let their guard down after having already clinched first place in the Patriot League and hosting rights throughout the PL Tournament.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt was a physical game in a lot of ways, and for us to stay on the field and not get any cards I think was great,\u201d said Head Coach Sally Starr. \u201cThere could have been retaliation in a game like this, and our girls really held their composure really well in a really tough match.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n In one instance, freshman Miya Denison took a rocket-pass to the face. Moments later, fully patched up and with a new jersey \u2013 her original one was stained with blood \u2013 Denison re-entered the game. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cMiya is absolutely the epitome of this freshmen class,\u201d Starr<\/span>\u00a0said. \u201cThey love to play, you aren\u2019t going to keep them off the field. A little blood, a couple stitches, doesn\u2019t matter. I was really proud of the way [Denison] got back in the saddle, and got back in there and played.\u201d<\/p>\n With the Patriot League title already in hand, Starr still stressed the importance of learning from these final regular season games as the intensity of the playoffs inches closer.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cA game like [Tuesday night] really helps us to prepare to ultimately win a tough match like this,\u201d said Starr. \u201cParticularly towards the end, where [Harvard] got the momentum, they got that second goal, I think we weren\u2019t taking care of the ball as well as we need to. That\u2019s something we need to be better at in a really heated match like this.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The Terriers wrap up the regular season at home on Saturday, Oct. 28 against the 8-8 Bison of Bucknell. The game is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. on New Balance Field.<\/span><\/p>\n [soundcloud url=”https:\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/playlists\/362552027″ params=”color=#ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true” width=”100%” height=”450″ iframe=”true” \/]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By: Andrew Mason BOSTON \u2014\u00a0A late Terrier rally to tie the game came up short Tuesday night, as the Harvard Crimson defeated Boston University Field Hockey, 2-1, at Berylson Family Field.

BU limited Harvard to only two penalty corners, far below the Crimson’s average of over seven per game. However, the Terriers earned only one penalty attempt themselves, a recipe for a low scoring night. <\/span><\/p>\n
