WORCESTER, Mass. – The Holy Cross women's soccer team will travel to Boston University for a crucial Patriot League matchup Wednesday at 7 p.m.

The Crusaders and Terriers are currently tied for seventh in the conference, just on the outside looking in of the playoff picture. A win by either team would go a long way in helping to secure a postseason berth.

After Wednesday's contest, each side will have two games remaining. BU still has to face league-leading Navy as well as sixth-place Lafayette, both on the road. Holy Cross will also take on Lafayette in addition to fifth-place Bucknell. Unlike the Terriers, the Crusaders will play each of their final two games at home.
