Susan Marschall's goal in double-overtime lifted Boston University to its third America East Women's Soccer Championship on Saturday afternoon at Nickerson Field. The Terriers defeated Maine 2-1 and earn the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

Boston U. now awaits their first round opponent as the women’s soccer selection announcement is scheduled to be held on Monday, November 7 live on ESPNews (time TBA).

Marschall took a corner kick from teammate Meghann Cook and sent it past America East Goalkeeper of the Year Jasmine Phillips to give the Terriers the victory.

Boston University gained a quick 1-0 advantage in the first half as Erica Lee took a Lauren Erwin pass and sent it to the back of the net at the 11:43 mark. The Terriers played with that one-goal edge for just under 68 minutes until the Black Bears evened the game at one goal apiece. Maine’s Heather Hathorn scored an unassisted goal at 79:04 to knot the game at 1-1.

The two teams battled for the next 26 minutes until Marschall ended the contest with her game winner. For her efforts, Marschall was named the tournament’s Most Outstanding Performer.

Marshall and Cook were joined on the All-Tournament Team by teammates Brooke Bingham and Melissa Shulman, Maine’s Phillips, Marie-Andree Canuel and Linda Consolante, Binghamton’s Kim Povill and Meghann Taylor, UMBC’s Mary Hearin, New Hampshire’s Debbie Newman and Julie Randall and Vermont's Jamie Koehnlein.

NOTES: For the first time in conference history, every game of the league tournament went into extra sessions...Maine loses in the championship game for the third consecutive season.
