The second-seeded Boston University Terriers downed No. 4 Albany, 17-9, to claim the 2007 America East Women's Lacrosse Championship at Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium in Stony Brook, N.Y. The Terriers earn the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Championship for the third-consecutive season.

The Terriers learn their opponent for first round action of the 2007 NCAA Division I Women's Lacrosse Championship in a selection show web cast on ncaasports.com. The 16-team bracket will be revealed Monday, May 7 at 8 p.m.

Boston University's Lauren Morton netted a game-high five goals, including four of the game's first nine tallies, to lead the Terriers to victory. Boston U. jumped out to an 8-1 lead at the 4:36 mark on Morton's final score of the first half and took an 8-2 lead to the break.

The Great Danes would cut the Terriers' lead to five in the second half, 14-9 with 2:13 remaining, but Boston University tacked on three more goals in the final 2:04 to secure the victory.

For the Terriers, it marks their third-straight conference title, but the first under first-year head coach Liz Robertshaw. Boston University has now won six league crowns overall.

Molly Collins garnered Most Outstanding Player honors to highlight the 11-member All-Championship Team.
