No. 17 Terriers Top No. 16 Northwestern, 2-1, in Season Opener

DURHAM, N.H. - The No. 17 Boston University field hockey team had a successful start to its 2016 season on Friday, earning a hard-fought 2-1 victory over No. 16 Northwestern in the opening round of the Wildcat Classic at Memorial Field on the campus of the University of New Hampshire. Junior Allie Renzi scored her first collegiate goal and added an assist while senior Cammy Jensen turned in a nine-save performance in goal.

THE RUNDOWN
Final Score: #17 Boston University 2, #16 Northwestern 1
Records: BU (1-0), Northwestern (0-1)
Location: Memorial Field – Durham, N.H.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • After taking a 1-0 lead into the second half, BU got what would be a huge insurance goal in the 51st minute on a tally by senior Amanda Cassera.
  • Northwestern got on the board with 14:24 to play but the Terriers held on late to secure the season-opening win.
  • BU overcame a slow start and got on the board in the 14th minute when junior Allie Renzi placed a low shot just inside the left post from the top of the circle on an assist from classmate Kali Shumock. The goal was the first of her collegiate career.
  • Renzi, who moved up to the midfield after playing as a back last season, set up Cassera's goal as the senior took the pass and spun around the middle of the circle before firing an elevated shot past Northwestern netminder Lindsay von der Luft, who finished with two saves on the day. 
  • Dominique Masters ended BU's shutout bid when she dribbled in from the right side and snuck a high shot past Jensen.
GAME NOTES
  • Jensen made five of her saves in the opening half and three of her four stops after halftime came on one Wildcat corner.
  • The Terriers were outshot by the Wildcats, 14-6, and Northwestern held a 5-2 edge in corners. 
  • Cassara's goal was the 30th of her career, moving her into a tie for seventh all-time at BU with Jacinda MacLeod '13.
  • All three of the Terriers' starting backs (Ally Hammel, Jordyn Beesmer, Maika Akroyd) made their BU debut at the position. Hammel scored seven goals as a striker last year during her rookie season.
  • Beesmer and freshman Kiley Gallagher made their first collegiate starts. 
  • This was the 12th meeting between the two schools and resulted in the Terriers' first win over Northwestern since a 3-0 home win in 2008, ending a three-game skid.

NEXT UP: TITLE GAME ON SUNDAY
  • BU will face the winner of Friday's New Hampshire-Massachusetts game in Sunday's championship game of the Wildcat Classic.
  • The title match will start at 2 p.m.
  • The Terriers opened last season hosting the Tri-Conference Cup with UNH and UMass. BU defeated UNH, 4-3, before dropping a 2-1 contest to the Minutewomen.

Men's Basketball Gold Caps Rio Olympic Games For Team USA

RIO DE JANEIRO – Kevin Durant made sure Team USA put an exclamation point on the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

He scored 30 points as the United States won the gold medal in men’s basketball Sunday, routing Serbia 96-66 after leading by as many as 41 points.

For the first time in history, the United States won both the first gold medal (shooter Ginny Thrasher in women’s 10-meter air rifle) and the last at an Olympic Games in summer competition.

Good shooting played a part in the bookend gold medals. Durant scored 24 points in the first half on 64 percent shooting and in the second quarter he outscored Serbia all by himself 18-14 with seven baskets, including four 3-pointers.

Team USA has now won 25 straight games in Olympic competition dating back to the bronze-medal

IOC President hails Rio 2016 as “iconic Games”

As the Olympic Games Rio 2016 entered the final weekend of competition, IOC President Thomas Bach offered a glowing assessment of the athletic achievements, the sports venues and the spirit of the Brazilian people.

"We have seen iconic athletes across all the sports,” he told reporters at a wrap-up media briefing. “The level of competition over all the sports was extremely high, and I can only congratulate the athletes for their stunning performances. This is only possible if you have excellent venues.”

He added, “The Brazilians were great hosts and united behind these Games. With the joy of life of the Brazilians, they turned this into a great party for everybody.”

President Bach also cited what he called “iconic stories” from the Rio 2016 Games, a series of

Simone Biles selected as Team USA’s Closing Ceremony flag bearer for Rio 2016 Olympic Games

Four-time Olympic champion Biles becomes first gymnast to lead
U.S. Olympic delegation into Closing Ceremony

RIO DE JANEIRO –
Four-time Olympic champion Simone Biles was selected to lead the 2016 U.S. Olympic Team into Sunday's (Aug. 21) Closing Ceremony as flag bearer, as announced today by the United States Olympic Committee. Biles was chosen by a vote of fellow Team USA members.

In her Olympic debut, Biles won team and individual gold medals in the women’s all-around, vault and floor exercise, also adding a fifth medal – bronze – on balance beam. She became the first American gymnast to win four golds at a single Games and one of only four women to accomplish the feat in Olympic history, joining Larissa Latynina (1956), Vera Caslavska (1968) and Ekaterina Szabo (1984). 



"It's an incredible honor to be selected as the flag bearer by my Team USA teammates,” said Biles. “This experience has been the dream of a lifetime for me and my team and I consider it a privilege to represent my country, the United States Olympic Committee and USA Gymnastics by carrying our flag. I also wish to thank the city of Rio de Janeiro, and the entire country of Brazil, for hosting an incredible Games.”

Widely considered the best gymnast of her generation, Biles’ Olympic medal haul extended her U.S. record to 18 individual medals combined in world and Olympic competition over the last three years. Her historic performance propelled the U.S. women’s gymnastics team to a total of nine medals in Rio, surpassing the team’s previous high of eight from the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008. The nine medals are the most won by any women’s team since the Soviet Union claimed 10 medals at the 1972 Olympics in Munich. 



Biles is only the second gymnast to serve as Team USA’s flag bearer, in either the Opening or Closing Ceremony, and the first-ever female gymnast to earn the honor. Alfred Jochim is the only other American gymnast to previously serve as flag bearer, leading the U.S. delegation into the Opening Ceremony of the 1936 Olympic Games.
