BOSTON – In a first for the Boston University softball team, the Terriers will compete in the Northeast during the month of February with a visit to Brown Friday afternoon. First pitch is slated for 3 p.m.

Thanks to an earlier cancelation of a game while down in North Carolina and the cooperation of the weather, BU was able to add the single game against the Bears for Feb. 28 in its earliest matchup ever up north, beating the March 7 contest at Providence that opened the 2021 travel-restricted campaign.

• BU is currently on a four-game losing streak after coming up short twice last weekend to the Garnet & Black Invitational host, then-No. 24/21 South Carolina, and falling to both UNLV and Fordham.
