BU men’s club soccer comes up short in conference tournament

The BU men’s club soccer team concluded its fall season by taking part in its annual conference tournament at Harvard University. The Terriers faced off against the Crimson in the first match of the tournament, and had to quickly regroup after facing a 1-0 deficit at the end of the first half. BU would respond in the final 45 minutes of the game, however, scoring the equalizing goal to send the match to penalty kicks. Despite the Terriers’ best efforts, they were unable to get much past the Crimson goaltender en route to the loss.
