BOSTON -- Jane Rogers scored on a breakaway with 4:45 remaining as top-seeded Boston University defeated No. 4 seed Delaware, 2-1, in the semifinals of the America East Field Hockey Tournament. Following a failed Delaware penalty corner, Boston University played the ball quickly up the field for a 3-on-1 breakaway. Danielle DeCoste found Rogers, who was initially stuffed by Delaware goalkeeper Kelly Ottati 20 yards away from the goal. The ball popped out from under Ottati's arm and Rogers tapped the ball towards the goal for the game-winner and her 12th of the season. Delaware, 9-12, had taken a 1-0 lead in the first half on Megan McGuin's third goal of the season. McGuin, a native of Newark, DE, scored off of a feed from Rachel Barger during a scurry in front with 9:38 left in the first half. The Terriers, 16-5 and ranked No. 14 in the NFHCA Top 20 poll, tied the score with 18:19 remaining in the second half on Tina McDavitt's goal of a penalty corner. The loss was Delaware's eighth against a team ranked in the current Top 20. Delaware is also now winless in seven games at Nickerson Field and 0-6 against the Terriers at Nickerson. Boston University will face the winner of Friday night's New Hampshire-Northeastern game. The title game is slated for Sunday at 1 p.m. The winner will receive an automatic qualifier into the NCAA Tournament.
