No. 16 Navy drops Patriot League opener to Boston U.

Boston University scored the final three goals, including the game-winner by freshman midfielder James Burr 2:46 into the second overtime period, to upset the16th-ranked Navy men's lacrosse team, 10-9, Saturday afternoon at Nickerson Field in Boston.
