BOSTON—After winning a thriller against Navy on Thursday night, the Boston University women’s basketball team is back in action on Saturday when the Terriers host Lafayette in Case Gym. Tip off is set for 2 p.m. and will be aired live on the Patriot League Network.

Saturday is BU’s Play4Kay Breast Cancer Awareness Game and the team has been fundraising all week for the cause! Donations can be made at the game or fans can enter raffles with prizes that include a Boston University game-worn pink game jersey, Dellaria Hair Salon and Spa gift certificate, Brown Sugar gift certificates, two tickets to the BU men’s hockey game vs. UMass Lowell and more!

All proceeds will be donated to the Kay Yow Cancer Fund and the American Cancer Society.

Due to the several events happening on campus this weekend including the Scarlet and White Indoor Track Meet, a shortage of parking in the Babcock Street/Langsam lot is anticipated. Should this become full, fans are encouraged to park in the lot at 808 Commonwealth Ave. (map) which will be open to anyone attending any event this weekend.
