CLINTON, S.C. – The majority of the Presbyterian College lacrosse team's nonconference schedule may be outside the friendly confines of Bailey Memorial Stadium, however the next two dates on the docket for the Blue Hose will take place from said sanctuary, beginning on Sunday afternoon in the 2023 Clinton opener. Head coach Eric Clakeley's squad will welcome the Terriers of Boston University for a noon start time, streamed live via ESPN+.

Serving as the first ever meeting between the two schools 48 hours from now, PC and Boston U both bring high levels of optimism with them to the early stages of the season, with the Blue Hose riding high from an 11-10 thriller over Delaware State on Wednesday. The visitors, meanwhile, roll into the weekend at 3-0 behind a high-octane offensive attack, in the midst of a five-game series of road meetings.
 
SCOUTING THE OPPONENT
- Producing a minimum of 14 goals scored in each of their three victories this year, including a season-best 20 against Stonehill on February 15, the Terriers have picked up their W's by an average margin of nearly nine points. Outgunning the other side by a total of 26 goals, Boston U has seen a trio of players hit seven scores or more behind a shot-on-goal percentage of .798.

- Fifth-year head coach Lauren Morton – a former All-American for the Terriers in 2008 – has given the program a direct 180 following a two-win stretch in 2022, needing only three more wins this semester to match the school's total over the last two campaigns. Only one of Boston U's outings has taken place outside their home venue, a 14-9 triumph against Iona in their last encounter on Feb. 18.

- The Terriers begin a tour through the Palmetto State on Friday before the visit to Bailey Memorial Stadium, firstly taking on Wofford this afternoon. They'll stay in SC after the joust with the Blue Hose this Tuesday for a duel against mutual opponent Coastal Carolina in Conway.
 
LAST TIME OUT
- It was a day of many notables for Presbyterian in the aforementioned barnburner in Dover, powering three goals in three separate periods to come away with the tight victory. Improving to 7-0 all-time against a determined DSU club, the Blue Hose were led to the W behind a five-point performance by senior star Abby Edmisten (four goals, one assist), along with four more from sophomore Willow Hammond (three goals, one assist).

- Never relinquishing the lead once it was grabbed with 14:55 gone in the first, the Blue Hose never buckled despite a six-tie affair thanks to a 3-2 difference over the final 15 minutes that included a pair of strikes by Hammond and the first career goal from second-year attacker Melissa Mucollari with under five to go.

- Edmisten and Hammond synced up for 12 on-target shots out of the team's 19 in the close win, while all 12 clear attempts were successful for Clakeley's core. Newbie keeper Lilly Phillips stopped 12 Delaware State tries in just her second start, including five in the 2^nd quarter that allowed PC to assume a 6-4 lead at intermission.
