Boston University men beat Harvard

BOSTON - Junior Ben Berube recorded an assist in the first half and the game winner in the second to propel the Boston University men's soccer team to a 2-1 victory over 20th-ranked Harvard on Sunday night. Playing up front tonight, the America East player of the game recorded his third career goal of the weekend after two on Friday against Rhode Island to help the Terriers improve to 5-3-1.

BU first struck at 26:24 when the Somerset, Mass., native Berube placed the ball inside the box for freshman Kelvin Madzongwe to head in for his first career points as a Terrier.

Harvard (2-2-3) though came back with two minutes remaining in the half, as Kyle Henderson curled in a free kick from just outside the box. Entering the locker room with a 1-1 tie, the Crimson led the Terriers in attempts, 6-4.

In the second half, senior Aaron O'Neal sent a cross toward the left side of the goal to freshman Vicente Colmenares, who placed the ball back into the box for Berube to knock in for the 2-1 lead.

BU's defense held strong and allowed Harvard to attempt just three total shot attempts in the second half.

Redshirt freshman Brandon Briggs did not record a save for the win, while Austin Harms had two for the Crimson.

Earning their second consecutive victory, the Terriers will next enter conference play at Stony Brook on Saturday, Oct. 2 with action slated to begin at 7 p.m.
