NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Make it four-straight victories for the Bulldogs as they blanked Boston University, 3-0, at Reese Stadium to close their non-conference slate of games.
Â
"These mid-week games can be tough between conference competitions, but I'm proud of our group for coming out ready to play,"
Sarah Martinez, Loring Family Head Coach. "A lot of players got meaningful minutes, Nana [Yang] with a goal and an assist on her birthday, Abi [Solomon] with her first career goal, and Amelia [Warren] with her Yale Soccer debut. I want the team to enjoy this tonight as we have to shift our focus quickly back to Ivy League play and Penn on Saturday."
Game Summary
- Just about two minutes into the second half, the Terriers seemingly broke the deadlock, but the goal was called back and called offside.
- 69' | Ellie Rappole's service on the corner caused chaos in front of goal. The ball bounced off Boston's goalkeeper and captain Nana Yang buried a shot in the back of the cage to give Yale the lead.
- 80' | Another goal came for Yale off the corner, but this time started from the foot of Karoline Hernes. Hernes found Yang on the back post – Yang one touch headed over to Abigail Solomon on the doorstep – for a photo-finishing header.
- 83' | The second half goals came rolling in once more. Alex Chang's throw-in started a sequence that saw Addison Bray, with her back to the goal, head a pass for Tina Teik to tip up and over the keeper.
