GET THEM TO THE GREEK!
- The Terriers have historically done well at Agganis Arena.

FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING
- This weekend's series marks the first two meetings between RIT and BU.
- The Tigers are the 32nd Division I team that the Terriers have played in program history, and they are the 29th current Division I program that the Terriers have skated against.
- Minnesota State will become the 30th current program on that list of opponents later this month when BU faces the Mavericks in Arlington, Virginia.
- After this season, only Bemidji State, Colgate, Lindenwood and Syracuse will be unfamiliar foes for the Terriers.

- She owns a 2.60 goals-against average and a .905 save percentage
- Sophomore Terra Lanteigne (2-1-0) has started the last three games, posting a 3.31 GAA and .909 save percentage.
SCHROEDER KEEPS SHINING
- Freshman goaltender Corinne Schroeder has been great impressive in her first two collegiate starts.
- She made a career-high 42 saves on Sunday at New Hampshire, including 16 over the third period and overtime.
