WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — St. Bonaventure junior Tori Burchett gave the Bonnies a 1-0 lead just 35 seconds into the match, but host Purdue (2-1-1) tied the game in the 19^th minute and rallied for three goals in a 4:42 span to take a 4-1 comeback win over the Bonnies (1-2-0) Sunday afternoon at Purdue's Varsity Soccer Complex.

Burchett scored her first goal of the season just after the opening whistle, after intercepting a pass in the Boilermakers' defensive backfield.

"Our forwards did a great job of making the play predictable," said Bonnies head coach Manoj Khettry. "They went to switch a ball in the back and Tori intercepted it about about 40 yards from goal." After dribbling alone to just inside the box, Burchett ripped a shot low and hard into the left side with her left foot to give St. Bonaventure an early cushion.

"I don't think you could have asked for a better start against a Big Ten team on the road," Khettry added.

Purdue got the equalizer in the 19th minute when a shot from junior Lauren Montenegro was deflected and bounced over keeper Kathryn Kerman's head for Montenegro's second goal of the young season.

The Bonnies and Boilermakers remained knotted at 1-1 until the 41st minute and the first of a three-goal outburst from the hosts. A long cross from Roya Akhavain found its way to Rachael Kimack, who finished the play by depositing the ball into the lower left corner. Two minutes and 31 seconds later, freshman Shae Desmond tallied her first collegiate goal when she ripped a shot from 30 yards out. Purdue concluded its scoring just 40 second into the second half when Kellie Phillips one-timed a cross from Jessica Warren into the back of the net.

"The game was lost in a five-minute span," Khettry said. "We just lost our concentration and we were tired as this was the first time this year we've played two games in a weekend. I thought we played good soccer against a quality opponent, and unfortunately we were just punished for the mistakes we made."

Despite the results this weekend, Khettry believes his team can mold into a contender. "We have the potential to be a very good team. We just have to continue to believe in our style, play possession soccer and be willing to work harder for each other defensively."

The Bonnies return to action Friday against the University at Buffalo. Game time is slated for 7 p.m.
