The Maroon and Gold will host their first home game of the 2016 campaign on Wednesday, March 5 when they welcome the UMass Minutewomen to Boston College for a non-conference matchup. Three days later, they will host the United States Naval Academy for a scheduled 1 p.m. start.
After a two-game swing that includes stops at the University of Florida and Stetson University, the Eagles will host their first ACC game of the season when 2015 NCAA semi-finalist Syracuse visits the Heights on March 19. The Tar Heels of North Carolina, who fell to Maryland in the national championship game last season, will also visit on Saturday, March 26.
Following their final road trip of the season against Virginia (April 2), Yale (April 6) and 2015 NCAA semi-finalist Duke (April 9), the Eagles will play their three of their final four games of the season at the Newton Campus facility with matchups against Dartmouth (April 12), Virginia Tech (April 16) and the regular season finale against John Hopkins (April 23). On April 20, the Eagles will travel to Cambridge for a 4 p.m. matchup with Harvard.
