Last season, the Boston University softball team won the Patriot League and reached the national tournament, finishing with a 52-10 record, including a stretch of 28 consecutive wins.
But after failing to advance out of regionals, losing twice to Virginia Tech, the Terriers walked away wanting more.
Despite an aggressive start and lead throughout the first half, the Boston University’s men’s basketball fell to the College of the Holy Cross 65-63 on Monday night.
The last time the Boston University women’s basketball team faced College of the Holy Cross, the Crusaders ended BU’s dreams of making the NCAA tournament in heartbreaking fashion in the Patriot League Finals.
Holy Cross (14-6, 8-1 Patriot League) proved once again to be a hurdle the Terriers (13-7, 5-4 PL) could not clear. BU lost the Turnpike Trophy matchup 61-50 on Monday afternoon.
With high energy in the Case Gymnasium, the Boston University women's basketball team found their rhythm and beat Lafayette 51-39 on Saturday afternoon.
The Boston University men’s basketball team opened their matchup against Army West Point with an explosive start, but the Terriers could not sustain their success and later lost 69-59 on Wednesday night.
Winter break is just around the corner, but some Terriers are not going to be taking too much time for themselves. The men’s and women’s basketball and hockey teams all have a full slate of games, including plenty of in-conference play. Each team has different expectations for the back half of their seasons, as the men’s hockey and women’s basketball teams are under particular pressure due to their postseason success last season, but all the teams have plenty of exciting games on their schedules. Here are some to keep an eye on.
The Boston University men’s basketball team pulled away in the second half against Sacred Heart University on Saturday, outscoring its opponents by 20 en route to a 70-49 victory away from home. In the first-ever meeting between the two teams, the Terriers (3-5) cruised to a win thanks in part to 33 total points off the bench.
