TODAY'S GAME
The Terriers hope to earn their first Patriot League victory on Saturday at Lehigh when the squads face off in Stabler Arena at 2 p.m.

THE TERRIERS
BU enters the game on a six-game skid and looks to turn its luck around against the Mountain Hawks. The Terriers are led by Meghan Green (12.7 ppg), Mollie McKendrick (9.8 ppg) and Sarah Hope (9.3 ppg). Green also leads the team in rebounding, averaging seven boards per game.

Boston University is still looking for its first win on an opponent's court, winning just one game on the road against Stephen F. Austin at the New Mexico Thanksgiving Classic.

The Terriers are outrebounding their opponents this season by a margin of 1.7 per game and have improved their forced turnovers in the last three games, averaging 7.3 steals and 4.7 blocks in that span compared to 4.6 takeaways and 2.1 blocks in the first nine contests.

GAME COVERAGE
Wednesday's game will be streamed live on the Patriot League Network and is free for all to view. Fans can also listen live on Terrier Sports Radio Network with Joe Weil on the call or follow along on twitter with live updates on @BUGameDay.

THE MOUNTAIN HAWKS
Lehigh enters the game as the leader of the Patriot League, posting a 9-2 record and winning its conference opener on Wednesday at Colgate.

Lexi Martins averages a double-double this season with 16.0 points per game and 10.5 rebounds per game. Kerry Kinek also averages double-figure scoring (14.4 ppg) and has the most steals on the team with 10 this season.

The Mountain Hawks outscore their opponents 76.4-68.2, a margin of 8.2 points. They also out-rebound their opponents by a margin of eight more per game but struggle with ball handling, averaging 17.4 turnovers in each contest, nearly five more than its foes.

SHEFTIC NAMED ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
After setting a career-high against Rhode Island, freshman forward Kara Sheftic matched her performance against Marist, scoring 12 points in each contest. The display was enough to earn her the Patriot League Rookie of the Week title, BU's first recipient of the season.

Meghan Green is the only other Terrier to be honored by the conference this season, earning Player of the Week distinction in the second week of competition.

THE SERIES
Saturday will be the sixth time the Mountain Hawks and Terriers have squared off with BU leading the series 4-1. Its only loss was in the last meeting in which Lehigh claimed victory on its home court last season.

A TERRIER WIN WOULD...
...Snap their six-game losing skid, the program's longest since the 2000-01 season when BU lost 10 straight.
...Be the first victory on an opponent's court this season.
...Delete their losing record in Patriot League play.

LAST TIME OUT
BU couldn't pull off the win in its Patriot League opener against Holy Cross, dropping a 71-48 decision to the Crusaders. Kara Sheftic tallied a career-high 15 points and scored the first nine points of the game for BU. Turnovers were the main issue for the Terriers, committing 20 that turned into 26 points toward the Crusader total.

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 when topping 60 was to Northeastern, a game it lost by one point. The Terriers 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 are among the squad's leading scorers. Green is BU's top scorer, averaging 12.7 points per contest while Hope is close behind with 9.3 ppg.

Hope, BU's starting shooting guard, is second on the team in assists (3.1/game) while classmate Courtney Latham, BU's starting point guard, leads the team with 3.3 per contest.

Green is also the team's leading rebounder, averaging 7.0 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.
