BOSTON — The No. 6-seed Boston University women's lacrosse team is set to begin its 2026 Patriot League Championship journey as it takes on third-seeded Loyola Maryland in a Patriot League First Round contest on Sunday, April 26 at Ridley Athletic Complex

Opening draw is set for Noon and will be streamed live on ESPN+.

TERRIER TIDBITS

The Terriers are back in the Patriot League tournament for the first time since 2023 and are searching for their first postseason win since 2018.
BU is 6-8 all-time in the Patriot League tournament and is making its ninth appearance.
If the Terriers win, they would meet top-seeded Navy in a Patriot League Semifinal on Thursday, April 30.
The Terriers dropped a 12-8 game at Holy Cross on Thursday to close out the regular season.
BU led 5-2 at halftime, but was unable to close out the game as the Crusaders outscored the Terriers 10-3 over the final 30 minutes.
Juniors Izabella Amonte and Tessa Geddes each scored two goals, senior Alyssa Mozi notched a goal and an assist and junior Reilly Walsh, freshman Avery Cutair and senior Elle Stevenson all had a goal each.
Junior Natalie Aiosa made eight saves in cage.
Aiosa stands just three saves away from reaching 400 career saves. She would be just the sixth goalkeeper to accomplish that feat in BU history.
She is also third in the Patriot League in goals-against average (10.26).
Geddes has tallied 42 goals and eight assists so far this season, while also grabbing 36 ground balls and 52 draw controls.
Stevenson is second on the team with 36 goals, and both Stevenson and Geddes reached 100 career points in the win over Colgate (April 15).
Senior defender Siri Hodgins enters the weekend ranked third in the Patriot League and 27th in NCAA DI in caused turnovers per game with 2.12.
She has 37 caused turnovers, the most in a season since Gabby Juocys caused 41 in 2002. Juocys' mark is the program record for CT in a season.

SCOUTING THE GREYHOUNDS

The Greyhounds are currently ranked 23rd in the latest IL Women and IWLCA polls and have an 11-6 record, including a 7-2 Patriot League record.
They defeated Bucknell 15-9 on Thursday.
Senior Elisa Faklaris leads the team in goals with 39, but it's sophomore Morgan Quade who has the team lead in points with 59 (25 goals, 34 assists).
Tewaaraton nominee Mae Murphy leads the country in draw controls with 215 this season.
Goalkeeper Makenzie Butler has a .371 save percentage in 13 games and Kennedy Buntrock has a .331 save percentage in 11 games. Butler has played 160 more minutes this season than Buntrock.

THE SERIES

This will be the 20th meeting between the Terriers and Greyhounds and the second this season.
The Terriers are 2-17 against Loyola Maryland all-time, with the last BU win coming in 2007.
BU and Loyola Maryland have met four times in the Patriot League tournament, with the Terriers dropping all four games.
In this season's 13-8 loss to the Greyhounds, Tessa Geddes notched a hat trick, Karina Harrison scored twice and Elle Stevenson, Alex Cutone and Jayne Feeney all scored once.
