Boston University’s women’s soccer squad will hit the road this Thursday, August 20, for its first away test of the season, traveling to Fairfield University for a 6 p.m. kickoff. The Terriers arrive with a 1‑1‑0 ledger after a convincing 5‑1 victory over UAlbany, a game that showcased junior forward Jaiden Schultz’s brace and the scoring touch of seniors Kat Slott and Georgia Prouty, while sophomore Jill Humphreys earned her first career start in goal.
Road Opener Against Fairfield
Coach David Barrett’s Stags, now 1‑1‑0 after a 3‑2 win over UMass Lowell, boast a deep roster of 25 upperclassmen and seven freshmen, and they will be looking to protect home‑field advantage in what promises to be a tightly contested battle.
Historically, BU holds a 4‑1‑1 edge over Fairfield, including a perfect 2‑0 record in road meetings, and the last encounter in 2025 at Nickerson Field ended in a 2‑1 loss for the Terriers, a reminder of the fine margins that have defined the series.
The upcoming match also marks the third straight road game for BU, with a Sunday showdown against UConn looming on August 23, adding a quick turnaround that could test the squad’s depth.
Fans can expect a blend of experience and youthful energy, as senior captains Ciara Kennedy and freshman Elle Ceres have already contributed assists in recent outings, while the defensive pairing of Bridget Carr and Humphreys will aim to keep the Stags at bay.
