The Boston University men's soccer squad will close out its road trip on Monday, August 31, when it hosts Providence at Chapey Field inside Anderson Stadium. The kickoff is set for 7 p.m., and the game will be carried live on ESPN+.
A Home‑Field Advantage
The Terriers are still searching for their first victory of the 2026 campaign after a 2‑1 defeat to Northeastern on Friday. Senior goalkeeper Ben Alexander made six saves in that outing, while sophomore forward Lapo Romieri netted the team's opening goal of the season and added three shots on target. Midfielder Anthony Harper recorded his first career assist, and freshman Guillem Vila Amettler earned his maiden start, logging the full 90 minutes.
Historically, Boston University holds a slight edge over Providence, owning an 11‑4‑4 record in the all‑time series and a 2‑2‑3 mark in road meetings. A win would mark the Terriers' first triumph over the Friars since October 4, 2011, and their first victory in Providence since 1989.
Providence arrives with a 2‑0 home record and has opened the season with three wins in four games, averaging 16.3 shots and three goals per match. The Friars have compiled five yellow cards, eight assists and 18 corner kicks through three contests, but their only loss came by a 3‑2 margin against Quinnipiac.
Looking ahead, BU will host New Hampshire on September 4 for its home opener. A win over the Wildcats would give the Terriers back‑to‑back victories for the first time since the 2003‑04 season, a milestone that has eluded the program for more than two decades.
