TONIGHT'S GAME
The Boston University women's basketball team hits the road for a three-game trip, starting with Yale on Saturday, Dec. 6 at 2 p.m. The Terriers look to bounce back after their first home loss of the year to New Hampshire on Wednesday night.

THE TERRIERS
BU is 3-4 on the year and is led by forwards Meghan Green (14.7 ppg, 8.1 rpg) and Mollie McKendrick (11.1 ppg, 8.0 rpg) and guard Sarah Hope (11.1 ppg, 3.3 apg). Green and McKendrick are shooting exceptionally well with field goal percentages of 49.4 and 43.8, respectively. McKendrick has been especially good from the floor as of late, shooting 60.7 percent over the last two games and averaging 19.0 points in those contests.

The Terriers are still looking for their first win on an opponent's home court, having won only one game on the road against Stephen F. Austin on New Mexico's court.

BU is in a holding pattern of loss, win, loss, win over the last seven games and, if that should hold true, the Terriers are due for a victory this weekend. Boston U. is hoping to break the cycle over the next week and get consecutive victories for the first time this season.

THE SERIES
BU and Yale will meet for the 15th time on Saturday, with the Terriers never having lost a contest on the Bulldog's court. All-time, Boston University leads the series 11-3, due in large part to its seven-game win streak in the 1980's. The two squads did not meet at any point in the 90's and when they decided to duke it out again in 2000, Yale came away with its first win of the series. Since then the teams have been pretty equally matched, with BU having the slight edge, winning four of the last seven.

THE BULLDOGS
Yale is 2-4 this year with wins coming against Holy Cross and Monmouth. The Bulldogs beat the Fighting Scots on Tuesday, snapping a three-game losing streak. Like BU, Yale has yet to win consecutive games this season.

The Bulldogs are averaging nearly the same points per game as the Terriers, putting up 60.3 per contest. They also handle the ball well, averaging just over 14 turnovers per game. Yale is not strong from the perimeter, shooting just 18.8 percent from long range (16-of-85).

Yale is led by senior guard Sarah Helejian, who averages 15.7 points and 4.2 assists per game. She is the only Bulldog who averages double-digit scoring but is inconsistent from the floor, shooting just 34.6 percent (28-of-81). Their most accurate shooter is Tamara Simpson, who averages 8.3 ppg and shoots 45.1 percent from the floor.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN
After a long trip to New Mexico last week, the Terriers are back on the road for a three-game trip, starting with Yale on Saturday. BU will then head to Kingston, R.I. for a mid-week matchup with the Rams on Tuesday and then to Poughkeepsie, N.Y. to take on Marist on Saturday.

LAST TIME OUT
The Terriers suffered their first home loss of the year on Wednesday night to New Hampshire. Mollie McKendrick recorded her second consecutive double-double (17 points, 10 assists) and earned back her starting spot against the Wildcats. Meghan Green led the team with 18 points in the 67-55 loss.

BY THE NUMBERS
BU has found the most success this season when it scores over 60 points in a game, losing just one of four contests when it achieves that benchmark. The only loss it has suffered was to Northeastern, a game it lost by one point. The Terriers also bounce back well, going 3-0 when coming off of a loss, and are great in sticky situations, accumulating a 3-1 record when a game is decided by five points or less.

SOPHOMORE STANDOUTS
This year's sophomore class has taken the reigns of a young Terrier team as Meghan Green and Sarah Hope lead the squad in scoring. Green is BU's top scorer, averaging 14.7 points per contest while Hope is close behind with 11.1 ppg.

Hope, BU's starting shooting guard, also tallies 3.3 assists per game, an average second to only classmate Courtney Latham (3.6 apg), who starts at point guard for the Terriers.

Green, a starting forward, is also the team's leading rebounder, averaging 8.1 boards per game.

THANKSGIVING IN THE LAND OF ENCHANTMENT
BU spent Thanksgiving in Albuquerque, N.M. for the New Mexico Thanksgiving Classic on Nov. 28-29. The Terriers came away 1-1 in the tournament, coming up short against New Mexico before beating Stephen F. Austin. It was BU's first time playing in the state of New Mexico.

PATRIOT LEAGUE NETWORK
The Patriot League, in collaboration with Campus Insiders, enters its second season this year. The PL will live-stream hundreds of its men and women's sporting events, add studio programming and grow distribution on multiple platforms and devices. All BU women's basketball home games, and road conference games that are not part of a television package, will be available to watch for free on the PLN.

KEEPING IT LOCAL
Boston University made its rounds with the Boston-area teams, playing all three to start the season. The Terriers began the year at Northeastern, losing a 75-74 heartbreaker before opening their home schedule with a thrilling 63-62 victory against Harvard. BU wasn't able to keep the momentum going, however, and lost at BC, 73-56 on Thursday night.

THE STEDING ERA
In its second season in a new conference, the Terriers have started yet another new era with the hiring of head coach Katy Steding. Steding comes to Boston University after spending the last two seasons as an assistant coach at California. Although this is her first year as a head coach in Division I, Steding spent seven years at the helm of the Warner Pacific College (NAIA) program following an impressive playing career.

Steding was part of the 1996 "Women's Dream Team" alongside Teresa Edwards, Rebecca Lobo and Sheryl Swoopes, which went 60-0 en route to an Olympic gold medal in the Atlanta Summer Olympics. Prior to her professional career, where she played in both the ABL and WNBA, Steding helped Stanford win its first National Championship and was named the CBS/Chevrolet Player of the Game.

THE STARS AMONG US
Assistant coaches Cindy Blodgett and Taj McWilliams-Franklin have both had impressive playing careers in the WNBA. McWilliams-Franklin was a 13-year WNBA veteran and six-time WNBA All-Star after being selected in the third round of the 1999 WNBA Draft by the Orlando Miracle. She won two WNBA titles, first with the Detroit Shock in 2008 and then with the Minnesota Lynx in 2011. McWilliams-Franklin is touted as one of the best post players in league history and still holds the record for career offensive rebounds with 1,062 and is second all-time in total rebounds. She is also one of just 12 players to score 5,000 career points.

Blodgett, a four-time All-American at Maine, had a four-year tour in the WNBA where she spent the 2000 season as a teammate of head coach Katy Steding. Blodgett opted to pursue coaching rather than continue her professional career, and began as an assistant coach at none other than Boston University in 1999. After spending some time at Brown, Blodgett was hired as the head coach of her alma mater, Maine, where she spent four years at the helm of the Black Bears. Most recently she served as an assistant coach at Rhode Island before returning to BU.
