Holding the Terriers’ offense to one goal was no easy task. BU launched 13 shots over the course of the game, but Durack and junior goalkeeper Cheta Emba, who split time in net, stood their ground.

However, it was the Crimson defense, led by senior co-captain Peyton Johnson, that truly secured the draw for Harvard.

“They were rock,” Leone said. “They had to absorb so many things—all the set pieces, the corner kicks, the flow of the play. The back line was unbelievable. So I’m really proud of how hard they played and how together they played.”

The Terriers earned eight corners and eight free kicks, but each one was staved off by the Crimson back line. Harvard did especially well to shut down BU forward Madison Clemons, who was named Patriot League Player of the Week after scoring three goals this past week. She finished with four shots—none on goal.

With the tie, the Crimson extends its unbeaten streak to eight games.

“I think it’s awesome showing them on their own field that we have what it takes, and [that] we are able to compete with them and show them that we’re good this year,” Weisman said. “We have great depth and great players, and we really wanted it today, so we showed that.”
