February 23, 2026 | Softball
BETHLEHEM, Pa. – After batting .375 with six RBIs, Boston University softball freshman Irys Kline earned Patriot League Rookie of the Week honors, as announced by the conference office Monday afternoon.
The rookie award marks the first of the season and third overall weekly honor for the Terriers after junior outfielder Kylie Doherty and senior pitcher Kasey Ricard were recognized back on Feb. 9.
A native of Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, Kline earned at least one hit in all five contests at the Charlotte Invitational. She started off with a two-out, walk-off grand slam homer in the bottom of the seventh to help BU defeat Jacksonville, 6-5.
In the second matchup against the host 49ers, she tied a program record with four walks while adding a single and run scored in the 10-9 loss. During the last game of the weekend against Marshall, she went 2-for-4 with an RBI walk and RBI single, as the Terriers overcame a 9-0 deficit to run-rule the Thudering Herd, 20-12.
BU will next compete at the three-day Duke Invitational and start off against Northwestern on Friday, Feb. 27, with a 10 a.m. first pitch.
