• The Terriers would get one back off a Moriah Connolly single that scored Rachel Levine.
• Boston College added two more in the bottom of the fourth as Cortez blasted a ball over the left field fence with one runner on.
• Boston University got another run in the top of the sixth as Moriah Connolly scored with some heads-up running after an error.
