BOSTON - The Boston University women's basketball team returns to action on Saturday when it hosts Lehigh at Case Gym on its annual Faculty & Staff Appreciation Day. The game is schedule for 2 p.m. and will also celebrate National Girls and Women in Sports Day (NGWSD).
BU (6-13, 4-4 PL) will look to rebound following a 66-50 loss to Patriot League leader Bucknell on Saturday, while Lehigh (6-13, 1-7 PL) is coming off a 66-64 win against Lafayette on Saturday. The win was the Mountain Hawk's first Patriot League victory of the year.

Faculty, staff and their guests will receive free admission with advanced registration. As part of National Girls and Women in Sports Day, youth will receive free admission and a Patriot League NGWSD t-shirt while supplies last.
