BOSTON – The Boston University women's lacrosse team wraps up its longest road trip in the 2022 campaign when it heads to UMass on Saturday (Feb. 26). Opening draw is scheduled for 1 p.m.
 
BU seeks its first win over the Minutewomen since 2013, and also searches for its first win of the season. For the Terriers, Saturday will begin a stretch of four games out of the next five taking place in Massachusetts. BU will play three games at home during that span.
 
Meanwhile, UMass looks to start its first winning streak of the season after alternating wins and losses through its first three contests. The Minutewomen are in their first of two four-game homestands.
