Boston’s weather reared its ugly head Wednesday, bringing a combination of rain and snow that washed away the Boston University softball team’s scheduled doubleheader against the University of Connecticut.

The doubleheader will not be rescheduled, according to BU coach Shawn Rychcik, making the washouts the fifth and sixth games the Terriers’ won’t play because of inclement weather.

BU was coming off two straight mercy-rule victories against the University at Albany and was hoping to carry that momentum into a matchup with UConn, which defeated the Terriers last year, 11-5, after scoring eight runs in the game’s final three innings.

Like many other Northeast team, the weather has eaten away at the Terriers’ schedule. BU has played 24 games this season, with just five of those on its home field. On the other hand, top-ranked University of Tennessee, enjoying the comforts of Southern weather, has played 17 of 42 games at its home field.

“I’m used to it because I grew up in the Northeast,” Rychcik said. “For some kids from warmer climates, it’s just different. They don’t run across this. If you’re from a warmer climate, it’s probably kind of frustrating.”

Rychcik is concerned the Terriers may not be able to reach some of the goals they set simply because they won’t play enough games.

“Maybe we’ll end up staying fresher longer at the end of the season,” Rychcik said. “Maybe that’s the silver lining.”

BU is not the only America East team suffering from inclement weather. The Terriers’ opponent this weekend, Binghamton University, has snow on its field and had to move this weekend’s series against the Terriers, originally scheduled to take place in Vestal, N.Y., to the BU Softball field.

Technically, the Bearcats are still the home team and will bat second in each of the games.

“One of the bonuses of this is that we are home — there’s a comfort at home,” Rychcik said. “Hopefully, people will come out and see us play. If we play our best game, there’s a chance we can win all three.”
