American University women drop 3-0 decisin at Boston University

The American University women’s soccer team continued its road swing on Friday night, where the Eagles fell 3-0 at Boston University.

After a scoreless first 17 minutes, American (0-3) was doomed as Boston University (1-2) scored two goals in a 31-second stretch in the 18th minute. Lisa Kevorkian converted an unassisted goal to get on the board, and it was Tiya Gallegos who knocked home the second to give BU a 2-0 lead.

Kevorkian added her second goal of the game and third of the season in the 62nd minute to take a 3-0 advantage, and ultimately put the game out of reach for the Eagles.

American registered two shots in the game, which came off the feet of Kendra Jones and Mackenzie Kerrigan.

Arianna Efstathiou played all 90 minutes in goal for the Eagles, recording six saves.

BU was a difficult opponent and another strong non-conference team,” said Head Coach David Bucciero. “This was the best game we possessed and passed the ball. Despite the fact we gave up a couple of goals in the first half, we fought hard for 90 minutes and did not give up, and that’s a positive that’s going to help us down the line.”
