HOW IT HAPPENED

For the second consecutive game, the Black Knights jumped out with a quick goal to start off the contest.
Hornick found Scott cutting in from the right elbow 49 seconds in. Hornick followed that up with a goal of her own from the same location and scored on the top shelf.
The Terriers then put three in a row on the board, but the Black Knights responded with two more to retake the lead 4-3.
Jollota first found Kraus on the opposite side of the crease for a goal before Stewart converted on an 8-meter with a bouncing shot between the legs of Caroline Meegan.
Boston U. went on a 3-1 run to take the lead heading into halftime with Spencer scoring Army's lone goal in the run off a free position attempt.
The Terriers came out strong in the second half and scored the first to goals back-to-back.
However, Army went on a four-goal run to take a 9-8 lead in the game with 22:52 left.
Hornick's 8-meter sparked the run as it appeared to be a change up to the Boston goalie as Hornick's initial shot was blocked and deflected in.
Dworschak followed suit 13 seconds later with a draw control and a goal. Cortes then setup Scott for her second of the game on an 8-meter in a man-up opportunity.
To close-out the run, Stewart grabbed the draw and fed Hornick who was cutting across the fan and scored high right.
Boston snuck in a goal, but Jollota took things into her own hands with a righty crease roll to beat her defender and the keeper offside hip.
The Terriers didn't stay quiet as they scored two-straight to retake the lead in the game at 11-10.
Stewart retied the game 11-all with a bouncer, but Boston scored the game-winning goal with 2:06 on the clock to clinch the game.
Army's final attempt was stopped barely by the feet of Meegan which deflected the ball just enough to avoid the goal line.
