CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Junior midfielder Dalinda Banuelos (Escondido, Calif.) scored a goal at 19:44 of the first half and the No. 18 Boston University defense clamped down on the No. 15 University of California, and the Terriers came away with a 1-0 non-conference victory over the Golden Bears on Sunday, Oct. 20 at MIT's Jack Barry Field.

Boston University (9-6, 1-1 America East) earned its fourth shutout of the season. The victory is the third straight for the Terriers against ranked competition. Cal (8-6, 3-0 NorPac) heads home losers of three straight games during its East Coast trip.

The Terriers got all the scoring they needed 15:16 into the first half, as sophomore midfielder Kara Rossi (North Salem, N. Y.) sprinted down the left side and fed a pass into the circle to Banuelos, who was positioned to the left of Cal goalkeeper Kelly Knapp. Banuelos turned and shot, scoring her sixth goal of the season and giving B. U. a 1-0 lead.

Cal had its best first-half scoring chance midway through the half, but the Golden Bears couldn't convert on three straight penalty corners.

Early in the second half, with the Terriers on one of their 10 corner opportunities, junior forward Celeste Hubbard (Detroit, Mich.) missed an attempt to double the B. U. advantage, as she hit the crossbar with a lifted shot.

With 17 minutes remaining in the game, Cal had its best scoring chance of the game deflect off the crossbar as well. Junior midfielder Nora Feddersen took a shot from directly in front of B. U. senior goalkeeper Susan Harrington (Tuftonboro, N. H.). The ball was tipped and hit the cross bar but did not go into the cage.

"The biggest turning point to this game was that our press was outstanding," said Terrier head coach Sally Starr. "From the press we created a number of great scoring chances. I couldn't be happier with how we played today."

Harrington finished the game with six saves and her fourth shutout of the season. Knapp made five saves in defeat. The Terriers were led offensively by Banuelos' nine-shot effort, while the Golden Bears were paced by Feddersen's six shots.

The Terriers host the University of Connecticut at MIT's Jack Barry Field on Tuesday, Oct. 22. Game time is 4 p.m.
