Demorest made eight saves through 60 minutes of game time.
BU’s strongest strikes came in the first minute of the second half, as the Terriers scored two goals in seven seconds, the second on a fast break enabled by the team’s passing ability and control of the midfield.
Three of BU’s second-half goals came on assists from Lewis, an All American first-teamer for the North Region, who scored two of her goals in the second.
Yet while the Crimson had trouble in the midfield, its attack was beset by its own problem.
At the end of each drive for the Harvard offense lay stalwart BU goaltender Anne Sheridan, who allowed eight while making 18 saves in just over 55 minutes played. Jenna Golden closed the game by permitting one goal and making two stops.
“The goalie did make some saves that I would have liked to have gone in, but at the same time we were also taking a lot of shots directly at her,” Sproul said.
The Crimson shot 9-for-33 on the whole.
