BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Coming off a hard-fought game at Princeton Wednesday, the Lehigh women's soccer team heads to Boston University Saturday for a big game against the first-place Terriers. Opening kickoff is set for 2 p.m. With four league games remaining, Lehigh is just three points behind a tie for second place.
 
Prior to Wednesday's game at Princeton, the Mountain Hawks had won two straight games, at Penn and vs. Loyola. The Loyola victory pushed Lehigh's league mark to 1-2-2. Boston University is in first place with a 4-0-1 Patriot League record and 13 points. Bucknell and Army West Point are tied for second place with eight points apiece while Navy, Loyola and Colgate each have seven points. The Mountain Hawks aren't far behind with five points.
 
Lehigh hung tough at Princeton, the No. 1 ranked team in the Mid-Atlantic Region. Standing tied at the half, the Tigers scored an early and late second-half goal for the 2-0 victory. Senior Ani Nahapetian was strong in goal, making seven saves, while the Mountain Hawks tallied three shots on goal for the game.
 
After a tough nonleague slate, Boston University has really turned things around in Patriot League play. The Terriers are just 2-5-2 against nonleague foes, but are undefeated in league play. Boston University has lost only once in its last eight games (vs. Harvard) and are coming off a dominant 4-0 win at Lafayette. The Terriers also beat Bucknell (4-0), Colgate (2-0) and Loyola (4-1) while tying American. McKenna Doyle leads the team in scoring with 11 points behind four goals and three assists while Jenna Fisher owns eight points (three goals, two assists) and Clare Pleuler has seven (two goals, three assists). In total, 11 different players have scored at least one goal. Alyssa Parisi has started all 14 games in goal, tallying a 0.91 goals against average and .789 save percentage.
 
Boston University leads the all-time series, 1-0-1. Last season, the Mountain Hawks tied the eventual Patriot League champions 1-1 in a strong effort, featuring a goal by Darby Wiegand and six saves from Nahapetian.
 
Following Saturday's game, the Mountain Hawks will return home for their final two regular season home games as Lehigh hosts Lafayette next Wednesday and Bucknell next Saturday. Both games are scheduled to kick off at 7 p.m.
