The BU defense helped the Terriers maintain their advantage toward the final minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt is a team focus to have a good defense. That helped with today\u2019s win,\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BU Head Coach Kevin Nylen said. \u201cThey are a high scoring team with really good attacking players.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first half saw opportunities on offense from both sides. BU started off strong by maintaining possession and dictating the rhythm of the game.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Senior Colin Innes was able to shoot from outside the box in the 11th minute and senior Quinn Matulis made several dangerous crosses throughout the first half.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI think we had the better of opportunities in the first half,\u201d Nylen said. \u201cWe found some really good chances and had some good chances, but just weren&#8217;t clean enough in that final third.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Greyhounds struck at the beginning of the first half but ran into goalkeeper Francesco Montali, who made a critical save. Not long after that, the Terriers were awarded a penalty kick because of a handball in the 49th minute. Senior Quinn Matulis transformed it into a goal which allowed the Terriers to focus on defense for the rest of the game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loyola held onto the ball for the majority of the remainder of the game, but the Greyhounds were unable to capitalize on their 12-7 shot advantage over the Terriers. Montali also collected four overall saves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Terriers next play Northeastern away on Tuesday at 6 p.m. for their last non-conference game of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Adriana Leyba Just a week after snapping a seven-game winless streak, Boston University men\u2019s soccer (4-3-6) (2-1-3 PL) defeated reigning Patriot League champion Loyola Maryland (4-5-4) (2-2-2 PL) 1-0 on Saturday.
