Boston University field hockey (4-6, 2-0 PL) will head to Washington D.C. to play No. 25 American University (6-3, 2-0 PL) on Saturday at 11 a.m in a conference matchup. 

Despite coming off a 3-0 loss against No. 14 Harvard last Sunday, the Terriers have yet to be defeated within the Patriot League. Their matchup against the Eagles is their third game in conference play after defeating both Lehigh and Holy Cross. 

BU has an all-time 12-5 record against American, but has had trouble keeping up that streak in the past few years. The Terriers haven’t won against American since recording a 2-1 home win in November of 2018. 

American University has a strong home record of 3-1 compared to BU’s 0-5 away record. This season, the Eagles won against No. 17 Delaware but faced losses against No. 14 Harvard and No. 19 Old Dominion. 

A player to look out for is senior midfielder Rachel Borzymowski, who scored two of the Terriers’ three goals against Holy Cross. Also, senior goalkeeper Caroline Kelly continues to prove to be a force with 12 saves against Harvard on Sunday.
