The Boston University women's soccer team will meet UConn in a Sunday night contest at Morrone Stadium, kickoff set for 7 p.m. The game marks the latest chapter in a rivalry that has seen the Terriers alternate between narrow defeats and dominant shutouts.
Series history and recent form
Boston University holds a 5‑8‑0 record against UConn, with the Terriers' most recent victory coming in 2018 when they blanked the Huskies 3‑0 on their home turf. The last encounter in 2024 ended 2‑0 in favor of UConn at Nickerson Field, and BU has recorded five shutout wins over the Huskies, the only exception being a narrow 1‑0 loss in 2022.
Boston University entered the upcoming match after a 5‑2 defeat to Fairfield, a game that produced the team's first collegiate goal for Ciara Kennedy and saw senior Samantha Aronson and junior Jaiden Schultz each register assists. Junior goalkeeper Bridget Carr turned in six saves, the most by a BU keeper since 2024.
UConn, sitting at 0‑0‑2, brings a potent attack that averages 14 shots per game and boasts a shots‑on‑goal percentage of .714. The Huskies have also drawn three yellow cards, two of which were issued in a recent clash with Rutgers.
Both programs have a track record of low‑scoring affairs, with BU recording 12 corner kicks in recent outings while UConn has claimed ten. BU’s midfield creativity, highlighted by Aronson’s passing and Schultz’s movement, could be pivotal in breaking down a defense that ranks seventh nationally in assists per game.
Looking ahead, the Terriers are slated to host San Francisco on August 30, with the first kick scheduled for 1 p.m., a game that will test their ability to translate home‑field momentum into another positive result.
