Terriers Bounce Back for DH Split at Central Connecticut State

NEW BRITAIN, Conn. – After stranding two runners in scoring position during the seventh inning of a 3-1 loss, the Boston University softball team bounced back with a 5-1 victory at Central Connecticut State for the doubleheader split on Thursday afternoon.

Freshman Kali Magane held the Blue Devils (11-24) to just three hits, as the Terriers (18-25) snapped an 10-game losing streak to non-conference opponents. Junior and reigning Patriot League Player of the Week Jilee Schanda earned her third homer of the year in the first contest, and senior Rachel Levine went 2-of-3 with two runs scored and an RBI to help lead the offense in the second matchup.
