Earlier this season, the 24th-ranked Bears traveled to Lawrence, Kansas and suffered their first loss of the season. On Wednesday night, BU got their revenge.

A 20-point outing from Dree Edwards led the Green & Gold to a 69-61 home victory to give the Bears their 20th victory of the season, marking the 24th consecutive season with 20 or more wins for BU.

🔺 California Dreamin’. When you want to be the best, you gotta beat the best and one thing is for sure, the 2024 BU softball isn’t backing down from that challenge any time soon.

After hosting #2 Tennessee to start the season, the Bears are back on the diamond this weekend with five games at the Mary Nutter Classic in Palm Springs, Calif.

Three of those five contests come against Top-20 competition with a showdown with #14 Oregon tonight and battles with #20 UCLA and #8 Missouri slated for Saturday.
