BOSTON – In the final non-conference matchup before opening Patriot League play, the Boston University softball team will make the short trek to Boston College on Tuesday afternoon with first pitch set for 3 p.m. Fans will be able to watch the action on ACC Network Extra.

The Terriers own the ninth longest active streak in the country at nine games after claiming a home doubleheader sweep over America East preseason favorite Stony Brook (6-3, 3-0) on Saturday. The Seawolves rebounded by posting a DH sweep at BC on Sunday (4-1, 3-0) after the Eagles were blanked by the Terriers this past Thursday, 5-0.
