But she wasn't finished with her heroics yet. In the bottom of the 10th inning, she swatted a solo home run to win the contest. Then in the nightcap, she hit a three-run double, pacing the Terriers to a 4-0 victory. Two days earlier, losing 1-0 to the University of Delaware, Turczynski knocked in the tying run with a single. BU won the game, 3-1. On April 24 the BU women's lacrosse team whipped Villanova University, 15-6, thanks in large part to attacker Jennifer Manning (SAR'00), who had five goals and an assist. On April 26 it was the scoring punch of offense-minded defenseman Jean Cooney (CAS'99) that destroyed Drexel University, 18-8. Cooney led the Terriers with six goals, and four of them were assisted by Manning -- who had four goals and another assist. Manning, the conference's leading scorer, had two goals against Villanova.     Terrier Scoreboard Men's Crew April 18 Bill Cup, on the Charles, 1st Varsity: Dartmouth 6:42.28, BU 6:42.81, Rutgers 6:44.88 April 26 1st Varsity: BU 6:15.95, Columbia 6:22.73 April 26 Junior Varsity: BU 6:56.96, Columbia 7:13.49 April 26 Freshmen: Columbia 6:15.52, Columbia 6:06.61 Women's Crew April 18 1st Varsity: Brown 6:24, BU 6:36 April 26 1st Varsity: Northeastern 6:46, BU 6:58.7 Men's Golf April 16 Flumere Championships: BU finished 3rd of 21 colleges April 21 Greater Boston Tournament: BU finished 4th of 7 colleges April 25 New England Championships: BU finished 15th of 16 colleges Women's Golf April 18 Wellesley Inn/Hartford Invitational: BU finished 8th of 11 colleges April 26 Northeast Championship: BU finished 9th of 13 colleges Men's Lacrosse Women's Lacrosse April 18 New Hampshire 13, BU 3 April 17 Towson 15, BU 9 April 22 Coast Guard 10, BU 8 April 20 BU 13, Vermont 3 April 25 BU 9, Northeastern 8 April 24 BU 15, Villanova 6 April 26 BU 18, Drexel 8 April 28 BU 8, UMass-Amherst 7 Rugby Coed Sailing April 18 BU 28, Yale 5 April 26 Staake Trophy Regatta, Medford: BU finished 5th of 7 colleges April 18 BU 60, Plymouth State 3 April 19 BU 30, Scranton 5 April 26 Thompson Trophy Regatta, New London: BU finished 9th of 15 colleges April 19 BU 35, UMass-Amherst 19 April 19 Central Connecticut 13, BU 10 April 25 Northeastern 27, BU 7 Men's Sailing April 19 New England Championship: BU finished 6th of 9 colleges Women's Sailing April 26 Regis Bowl, on the Charles: BU finished 5th of 10 colleges Women's Softball Men's Tennis April 16 BU 6, Central Connecticut 1 April 15 BU 5, Hartford 2 April 16 BU 6, Central Connecticut 3 April 16 BU 5, Tufts 2 April 17 BU 10, Vermont 5 April 22 BU 6, Rhode Island 1 April 17 BU 6, Vermont 1 April 25 BU 7, New Hampshire 0 April 21 BU 6, Dartmouth 0 April 26 Towson 4, BU 2 April 21 BU 2, Dartmouth 0 Women's Tennis April 24 Delaware 1, BU 0 April 17 BU 5, Rutgers 2 April 24 BU 3, Delaware 1 April 18 Seton Hall 6, BU 3 April 26 BU 3, Towson 2 (10 innings) April 22 BU 8, UMass-Amherst 1 April 26 BU 4, Towson 0 Men's Track April 18 Mt.
