BOSTON – The La Salle women's soccer team opened their 2014 season with a heartbreaking 2-1 loss to Boston University on Friday night at Nickerson Field. Jenna Fisher scored the game-winner for the Terriers with seven seconds remaining in regulation after BU tied the game in the 78^th minute.

Fisher gave Boston their first lead of the game with the late goal, scoring on her first touch after an assist from Ariana Aston.

Following a scoreless first half, La Salle grabbed a 1-0 lead thanks to a goal in the 50^th minute from junior Jessika Kagan. Senior Maryam Huseini threaded a pass up the right side to a hustling Kagan, who beat her defender up the right side and fired a shot to the far corner past the reach of BU's keeper.

The Explorers held the lead until Boston's Ana Cuffia punched in a free kick at the 77:05 mark in the second half.

The Explorers put seven shots on goal for the evening, including four that landed on goal. Huseini paced the attack with a pair of shots.

La Salle senior goalkeeper Jessica Wiggins kept BU out of the net until the 78^th minute, recording four saves on the night.

The Explorers are back in action on Sunday afternoon as they visit Northeastern's Parsons Field for a 1 p.m. match with the Huskies.
