BU Downs Maine to Stay Unbeaten in Last Five

October 4, 2009

ORONO, Maine - Senior Emily Pallotta netted two goals and classmate Casey Brown and sophomore Jessica Luscinski potted one apiece to lead the Boston University women�s soccer team to a 4-2 win over Maine on Sunday.

The Terriers (7-4-2, 3-0-0 America East) extended their unbeaten streak to five games while delivering the Black Bears (4-4-2, 1-1-1) their first loss of the season.

After nearly an entire 45 minutes of scoreless action, Pallotta broke the deadlock with her second goal of the season after a scramble inside the 18-yard box. Early in the second half, Brown tacked on another goal off a pass from Taleen Dimirdjian in the 48th minute, and Pallotta made it a 3-0 game three minutes when she connected on Luscinski�s cross inside the box.

In the 53rd minute, Maine spoiled the shutout with Maddie Hill�s second goal of the season from a shot just outside the box, and it drew to within one, 3-2, when Hannah Breton unleashed a shot from the top of the box at 74:01.

BU put the game away in the 82nd minute when Adrienne Anderson sent in a cross to Luscinski for the sixth and final goal of the game. It was Anderson�s first collegiate point and Luscinski�s third goal of the season.

The Terriers� defense held one of the nation�s leading scorers, Laura Martel, scoreless, after she had scored eight goals in nine games. Senior Janie Reilly made two stops in 90 minutes of action while BU outshot Maine, 15-12, and held a commanding 10-4 advantage in corner kicks.
