BOSTON — An almost week-long hiatus appeared to have little effect on the Boston University softball team as the Terriers swept visiting Providence College, 5-3 and 3-1, in a doubleheader Wednesday at the BU Softball Field.
BU (29-13) got plenty of help from Brittany Clendenny, who went five-for-six with five doubles and five runs on the day, and Megan Volpano, who was three-for-four and drove Clendenny in every time she reached base.
BU jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning in the first leg of the doubleheader with Clendenny scoring thanks to a sacrifice fly from Volpano after being moved to third by Erica Casacci.

BOSTON – The Boston University women’s lacrosse team sealed an 11-6 win over Canisius College on Senior Day Sunday in their last home game of the regular season.
“It wasn’t our cleanest or most crisp game, but a win’s a win and we’ll take them any way we can get them,” BU coach Liz Robertshaw.
The rainy weather looked to have some effect on the game at Nickerson Field, especially for BU, who committed 16 turnovers. Nonetheless, the Terriers (10-5, 5-0 America East) overcame the Golden Griffins (8-8, 4-2 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference).
