With about 10 minutes to go in the half, and with a lull in the Terrier offense, the Crimson managed to grab the momentum and mounted a concerted attack on the B.U. net. Nagle got two strong shots off in the 28th minute, but both rolled wide of the Terrier cage.

"They were tough shots to miss, because you only get so many good looks in a game," she said.

McDavitt's goal came as the two teams seemed to be looking forward to a halftime rest.

On a set play off of a short corner, Terrier midfielder Jessica Alcorta played the ball in to senior midfielder Jaclyn Mele. Mele set the ball for McDavitt, who moved in on net and slid the ball past Cowan on the right side of the net.

The assist was Mele's 11th assist of the season, the best in the America East.

After halftime, the Crimson came out looking to strike back quickly, and continually worked the right side of the midfield early.

Junior Maisa Badawy, who made a move from the left to the right side of the midfield in last week's Northeastern game, made a number of penetrating runs from her new position into the Crimson's offensive third.
