The Boston University women's basketball team will conclude its brief two-game homestand on Sunday when it hosts Lafayette at Case Gym. Tip-off is scheduled for 2 p.m.

BU (4-10, 2-1 PL) will look to improve to 3-1 in conference play and earn its fourth win in its last five games. Lafayette (1-14, 0-3 PL) is in search of its first win since its season opener, having lost 14 straight games entering Sunday.
 

HEARTBREAKER AGAINST NAVY

• BU erased an 11-point halftime deficit to take a lead into the fourth quarter, but a late Navy jumper put the Mids ahead for good and helped seal a 62-59 victory at Case Gym on Friday night.
• The Terriers had two different tries to take the lead in the final seconds, but Navy stood strong defensively.
• Senior Sarah Hope matched her career high with seven 3-pointers, which accounted for all of her game-high 21 points.
• Junior Sophie Beaudry recorded a double-double thanks to 11 points and 11 rebounds while sophomore Naiyah Thompson tallied 10 points to go along with seven boards.

LIGHTS OUT FROM DOWNTOWN

• BU shot over 60 percent from three-point range on Friday against Navy.
• The Terriers were 8-of-13 from beyond the arc, paced by senior Sarah Hope's impressive 7-for-11 performance.
• It was the first time the Terriers shot over 50 percent from downtown in a game since a 7-of-13 clip (53.8%) in a 71-58 win at Colgate on Feb. 17, 2016

HOPE WITH THE HOT HAND

• Senior Sarah Hope matched a career best with seven treys on Friday night.
• She had previously recorded seven three-pointers on Dec. 9, 2015, at Rhode Island.
• Hope nearly set a new career high for points in a game as well; her 21 on Friday were two shy of her single-game best of 23, also set on that date against URI.
