GET THEM TO THE GREEK!

  • The Terriers have historically done well at Agganis Arena.
  • They own a 7-1-1 record at that venue.
  • The Terriers are 5-0-1 against Hockey East opponents at Agganis, including a 2-0 victory over Merrimack last season.

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.

TIGER TIDBITS

  • The Tigers lost, 6-0, on Oct. 28 after defeating the Lions, 4-3, on Oct. 27.
  • Juniors Kendall Cornine (4g, 2a) and Kandice Sheriff (3g, 3a) each lead the Tigers with six points apiece.
  • Cornine is the leading goal scorer while junior Brooke Baker leads the squad with four assists this season.
  • Freshman Jessi O'Leary (1-3-1) has started a team-high five of the six games she has appeared in this season.
  • 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.
  • Schroeder secured her first-ever win with a 26-save performance against UConn on Oct. 22.
  • She has allowed just one even-strength goal and owns a 1.92 goals-against average and a .944 save percentage through two games.
  • Schroeder was the first Terrier netminder to win her first collegiate start since Braly Hiller did so on Oct. 15, 2011.

LESLIE LIGHTS UP THE SCORE SHEET

  • After being held without a point over her first four games, senior Rebecca Leslie has been on a roll over the last three tilts.
  • She has tallied five goals and three assists for eight points in that stretch, which includes a four-point effort (3g, 1a) against UConn on Oct. 22.
  • No other player in the country has scored more goals (5) over her last three games than Leslie.
  • Leslie also secured three points (2g, 1a) against Boston College on Oct. 28.
