For the Boston University softball team, the 2025 season is a special one. Not only do they stand undefeated at the top of the Patriot League standings as of April 3, they’re favorites to take the regular season title for a seventh year in a row, all while the leader and mentor that guided them to these results reaches a significant career milestone.
The Boston University women’s softball team is eager to replicate its recent success. In 2024, the Terriers won 53 games while going undefeated in conference play before going on to capture a seventh Patriot League title in program history and a stint in the NCAA Tournament.
Boston University softball outscored Colgate University by a combined score of 26-2 in a sweep of a 3-game set as head coach Ashley Waters collected her 300th career win.
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.
Boston University softball traveled to Athens, Georgia last weekend to compete in the NCAA tournament, where they were ultimately eliminated after playing three games.
The softball team escaped a jam in the sixth inning, then scored a run in each of the next two innings to walk off a 2-1 victory against Colgate University last Friday.
