WEDNESDAY’S GAME
• After a three-game home stand, the Terriers head to Colgate for a midweek game with the Raiders.
• Opening draw is set for 5 p.m. on Beyer-Small ’76 Field and the game will be aired live on the Patriot League Network.

TERRIER TIDBITS
• Ally Adams is the team’s points leader with 24 so far this season, totaling 15 goals and nine assists. Mickenzie Larivee leads the team in goals with 20 so far this season while Taylor Hardison has the most assists, dishing out 18 in 2016.
• Jill Horka leads the team in draw controls after grabbing six or more in four of the last six games. After setting a new season standard in the category last year (68), Horka has 36 so far in 2016 and moved up to third all-time in career draw controls.
• Mallory Collins ranks second on the team in goals this season with 16 so far.
• After making it to the PL Championship semifinal round last season, the Terriers were again picked to finish third in the conference this season. BU was a No. 4 seed in the tournament with the 4th-best regular season record (5-3).
• BU returns six of BU’s seven top-scorers including Collins, who led the team with 40 points (38g, 2a) last season.
• All seven seniors were picked as captains this season after deciding as a class that they all wanted to take on the leadership role.

100 WINS FOR ROBERTSHAW
• Head coach Liz Robertshaw earned her 100th career victory against reigning MAAC Champion Fairfield. BU defeated the Stags, 13-8.
• All 100 of her wins have come at the helm of the Terriers, which she has led to a 103-73 (.585) record so far in 10 seasons. In total, Robertshaw has spent 13 years coaching at Boston University. In that time, the program compiled a 146-89 (.621) record.
• Robertshaw is not only the winningest coach in BU history, she is also the longest tenured. Sally Starr, who is still the current BU field hockey head coach, is the second-longest standing women’s lacrosse head coach, heading up the program for its first eight seasons (1980-87).

SCOUTING THE RAIDERS
• Currently ranked third in the Patriot League, Colgate is one of just three undefeated teams left in conference play. The Raiders defeated American and Lafayette to begin the season.
• The Raiders are a low-scoring team, averaging just 9.50 goals per game and 3.88 assists per game. Colgate handles the ball well committing just 13.50 turnovers per game but only causes a conference-worst 6.25 per game.
• Colgate is led by Isabel Kreitler, who has 22 points so far this season including a team-high 14 goals. Kellan Murray leads the team in assists, dishing out nine so far this season.
• Asil Asfour is the only goalie to see minutes this season and has a 10.04 goals against average and .413 save percentage.

THE SERIES
• The all-time series is tied at 4-4 and the Raiders have won the last two-straight games.
• BU is still in search of their first win against Colgate as conference opponents and first since 2005 when the Terriers defeated the Raiders to advance to the NCAA Quarterfinal.

HORKA IN THE RECORD BOOKS
• Originally cracking the top-10 in career draw controls against Lehigh on April 4, 2015, junior Jill Horka has moved up to third all-time with 181 career grabs.
• During the Patriot League Quarterfinal, also against the Mountain Hawks, Horka etched her name in the BU record book again, setting a new season standard of 60 draw controls. She increased that tally to 68, the new BU season record.
