The Boston University women’s basketball team secured a 58-54 win over the Colgate Raiders on Saturday, thanks to timely shooting and hustle plays. The Terriers struggled to score for most of the game, but sophomore guard Rose Azmoudeh’s two 3-pointers in the final minutes gave them a 1-point lead. Azmoudeh’s defensive pressure also led to a crucial Colgate turnover, which forced the Raiders to intentionally foul senior forward Anete Adler, allowing the Terriers to extend the game.<\/p>\n
Adler and fellow senior forward Anastasiia Semenova led the Terriers’ offense, each scoring 16 points. Azmoudeh added 14 points, including four 3-pointers, and a season-high three steals. The team’s defense was a key factor in the win, forcing 17 turnovers that led to 15 Terrier points. Despite struggling to find an offensive rhythm, shooting just 38.5% from the field and 31.6% from 3, the Terriers were able to rely on their defense to stay in the game.<\/p>\n
Head coach Melissa Graves praised her team’s effort, saying, “Just really proud… having a lot of pride in that we were able to pull it out for our alumni and now we’re able to celebrate with them a little bit.” The win was especially sweet, coming on Alumni Weekend at Case Gym, where a crowd of former BU players were in attendance. The Terriers’ victory gives them consecutive wins for the second time this season, but they know they can’t rest on their laurels with a tough matchup against Patriot League-leading Navy next.<\/p>\n
The team is determined to build on their momentum, with Semenova saying, “Just keep working on whatever’s been working for us… have to keep emphasizing the turnovers in practice and then boxing out.” The Terriers will look to make it three straight wins when they travel to Annapolis to play Navy on Wednesday. With their defense and hustle plays leading the way, the team is confident they can continue to succeed in the Patriot League. As Adler noted, “When we get the shot-clock violation, we’re fired up… it goes to our offense as well. When we have more energy, it feeds us in offense.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
