BOSTON – Fresh off its trip to California and the first week of the fall semester, the Boston University women's soccer program is back in Massachusetts for a trek to UMass Lowell on Sunday (Sept. 7). Opening kick is set for 6 p.m.

BU (3-2) went 1-1 during its West Coast swing with a win at San Francisco and a loss at Saint Mary's. The Terriers' next three contests take place in the Bay State and will conclude their non-conference schedule.

UMass Lowell (1-3-1) is in the midst of a five-game home streak. However, the River Hawks are 0-2-1 in that stretch.

Sunday's game airs on ESPN+, beginning at the top of the hour. Live statistics and an international stream are available through UMass Lowell's athletic department.

TERRIER TIDBITS

BU sustained its first road defeat back on Aug. 31 with a 4-0 loss to the Gaels.
That marked the Terriers' first shutout in the previous 13 matches.
Sunday's contest is the third of four America East foes BU faces in 2025. The Terriers are 2-0 so far with wins over UNH and Maine.
BU ranks second in the Patriot League with 1.8 goals per game and third with just eight goals allowed.
Seniors Giulianna Gianino and Mackenzie Stickelman as well as freshman Georgia Prouty rank in the top 15 across the league in shots per game.
Gianino remains atop the league leaderboard with 1.8 points per game, three assists and 2.4 shots on goal per game.
A win would guarantee the Terriers finish .500 or better in non-conference play, which would mark the second occurrence in the previous three seasons.

SCOUTING UMASS LOWELL

The River Hawks' match earlier this week against CCSU was canceled. Prior to that, UMass Lowell played UMass to a 0-0 draw.
UMass Lowell's lone win came in its 2025 opener at Stony Brook, 4-2. The River Hawks have scored just one goal since.
Maddie Guthrie leads UMass Lowell with three points off three assists, while goalkeeper Rachel Welch sports a .758 save percentage.
The River Hawks were projected for a fourth-place finish in the America East preseason poll after reaching the conference semifinals in 2024.

SERIES HISTORY

Sunday marks the fifth all-time meeting between BU and UMass Lowell in a series that began in 1995.
The Terriers sport a 2-1-1 edge in the rivalry, including a 2-1 victory in Lowell back on Aug. 25, 2022.
However, the River Hawks won the last matchup, 1-0, last August with Gaby Eckroth's 72nd-minute goal off a corner kick at Nickerson Field.
Gianino scored in the 2022 contest against UMass Lowell, while current assistant coach Amy Thompson had an assist on the game-deciding strike.
