This match marked the end of the Crusaders’ run for the 2026 season, during which they recorded a 4-16 record. The four victories represent their highest win total since the 2022-23 season. Boston University, which has now won five consecutive matches and holds a balanced record of 9-9, will advance to face Lehigh in the semifinals.
In doubles play, Boston University secured wins at both No. 2 and No. 3 positions to earn the doubles point. The Holy Cross pairing of freshmen Phoebe Devine and Margaret Winiecki were tied at three games apiece at No.1 when their match was left unfinished due to BU clinching the round early.

Notably, Holy Cross senior Maddie Hamm was leading her opponent at No.4 with scores of 6-3 and 4-1 before play concluded following BU’s overall win.
