The Boston University women's soccer team capped a remarkable 2025 campaign by clinching their sixth Patriot League regular‑season championship, finishing the year with an 11‑win record and a 660‑minute shutout streak that spanned eight consecutive matches from early October through early November.
The Terriers sealed the achievement by topping the league standings and securing the No. 1 seed for the Patriot League Tournament, a milestone highlighted by a decisive victory over Colgate in the regular‑season finale.
Beyond the win‑loss column, BU’s performance placed them among the nation’s elite, ranking within the top‑25 Division I programs in six key statistical categories such as shots on goal per game and assists per game.
The team’s success was recognized across the conference, earning seven All‑Patriot League honors and four major awards that celebrated both player excellence and coaching brilliance.
A Season Defined by Excellence
Head coach Megan Burke, in her first year at the helm, along with her staff, were named Patriot League Coaching Staff of the Year, underscoring the rapid impact of her system on the squad.
Senior defender Helene Tyburczy earned the league’s Defensive Player of the Year award, while midfielder Giulianna Gianino captured both Midfielder of the Year and Scholar‑Athlete of the Year, capping a career that includes a single‑season program record of 15 assists and 75 total points.
Gianino’s 25 career assists tie her for the most in BU history, placing her fifth all‑time in the program’s point total, a testament to her sustained influence on the field.
