BOSTON - The Boston University women's swimming & diving team opened its 2026-27 season with a 191-109 victory over Holy Cross on Saturday afternoon at FitRec Competition Pool.

Four others, including freshmen Emma Rudowsky and Graycin Andreen in their collegiate debuts, earned one win each and the Terriers were victorious in both relays.Â
The win also secured a point in the Turnpike Trophy standings as the Terriers jumped out to a 4-0 lead on opening weekend of the annual competition with other wins in men's swimming & diving, field hockey and women's ice hockey.
