BOSTON – Playing its third game in five days, the Boston University men's soccer team will visit Albany on Tuesday night with action slated to begin at 7 p.m.

The Terriers (0-3-0) are coming off a 2-2 exhibition draw against the Haiti National Olympic Team following Friday's tough 2-0 defeat at No. 9 UMass Lowell, while the Great Danes (2-1-0) are riding a two-game win streak with home victories over Rhode Island (4-0) and George Mason (3-1).

TERRIER TIDBITS

BU owns a slight advantage in combined shot attempts, 34-33, but is behind in shots on goal, 19-11.
Through three games, the Terriers have posted a 17-5 advantage in corner kicks and currently rank 60th nationally in corners per game (5.67).
Rhode Island defeated BU, 3-0, in the season opener at home before falling at Albany, 4-0.
Returning just five of the 23 goals from last season, BU has suffered three straight shutouts, the longest stretch since 2013, and will try to avoid matching the 2005 squad with four.
All three goalkeepers have seen action this season ... Sophomore Michael Bernardi started the first two with senior Bjorn Kammholz seeing action against Boston College, and freshman William Bonnelyche played all 90 minutes Friday against UMass Lowell.

SCOUTING ALBANY

Riding a six-game unbeaten streak at home dating back to last year, The Great Danes are the second opponent for BU to be coming off an NCAA postseason appearance ... They topped Boston College at home before falling at Clemson in the Sweet 16.
Albany collected three of the eight first-place votes to finish second in the America East preseason poll behind UMass Lowell.
Afonso Pinheiro owns seven points off three goals and assist to edge Daniel Krutzen (1g, 4a) by a point for the team lead.
Carlos Clark and Owen Fingar also have a pair of goals apiece, as Albany currently ranks eighth in the country in goals per game (3.0).
Danny Vitiello has made a combined three saves in the last two games, after Lucas Vallilo allowed three goals in the season-opening loss to Marist (3-2).

SERIES HISTORY

BU is 11-2-2 all-time in a series dating back to 1999 against the Great Danes and has won the last five meetings by a combined score of 14-3 ... Albany last won in 2008 at Nickerson Field, 3-0, despite being out shot, 22-6.
The Terriers are 6-0-1 at Albany but haven't played there since a 2-1 victory in 2011.
Two years ago at Nickerson Field, BU pulled out a 3-0 win en route to an NCAA at-large berth with seniors Danny Foen, Adam Sheikali and Eric Udelson all finding the back of the net ... The Terriers had four saves, as Albany finished ahead in both shot attempts (16-12) and corner kicks (5-4).
