SYRACUSE, NY - Syracuse women’s lacrosse defeated Boston University, 12-11, despite a second-half rally by the Terriers on Saturday afternoon in the Carrier Dome.
Boston University (4-9) scored nine goals in the second half, including three in the last minute of play, but Syracuse (8-5) won the final draw control with 22 seconds remaining and held onto the win.
Junior Kim Wayne (Scarsdale, NY/Scarsdale) started the scoring off for the Orangewomen with a free-position goal and then assisted on a Jessica Trombley (Kueka Park, NY/Penn Yan) tally to make it 3-0. Wayne’s 29th assist of the season tied her with Katrina Hable ‘01 for most assists in a career at SU with 56.
Sophomore Leigh-Ann Zimmer (Farmingdale, NY/Farmingdale) scored the first of her three goals to give SU a 4-0 lead. BU’s leading goal scorer Erika Hergenroeder put the Terriers on the board with a goal at 16:15. Alyssa Truedel followed to bring BU with two, 4-2.
SU rattled off four more goals before half, including two points by sophomore Cristine Doran (Corning, NY/Corning) to put the Orangewomen up at intermission, 8-2.
Boston University scored four goals in the first eight minutes of the second half to bring the Terriers within two, 8-6. Freshman Monica Joines (White Hall, MD/North Harford) found the back of the cage for the second time in the game to keep SU ahead 9-6.
Soults’ free-position goal gave Syracuse a 12-8 advantage with seven minutes left in the game and it would be enough to secure the victory.
