Box Score

BOSTON, Mass. – In a highly contested Patriot League contest, the Army West Point men's soccer team suffered a 1-0 setback against the Boston University Terriers on Saturday night from Nickerson Field.

The Black Knights fall to 8-6-2 overall and 4-3-1 in league play, while BU improves to 7-6-2 and 3-3-2.

It was a back-and-forth affair through the first 45 minutes with each side getting quality chances in the opening stanza. Felix De Bona worked his way inside the six-yard box for the Terriers for a header that sailed over the cross bar in the 17th minute before Alex Jaroscak saw a similar result in the 24th minute.

Anthony Viteri opened the scoring as he received a through ball from David Amirani, which he put away in the bottom right corner at the 49 minute mark.

Senior Nick Williams had Army's best chance of the night late in the game as the ball bounced found his foot in the 88th minute in the box, but a diving stop by Matt Gilbert preserved the lead for BU.

Despite being out shot 20-13 in the game, Army matched the Terriers in the number of shots that were on frame with each side notching four.
