SERIES HISTORY

BU is 25-11-3 all-time against Providence, including an impressive 16-2-1 mark at home.
The Terriers are just 7-9-2 at Schneider Arena, but they are 4-0-1 in their last five games there.
BU had its 10-game win streak against the Friars snapped last year, but the Terriers are unbeaten against PC in their last 12 games and are 17-1-1 in their last 19 tilts against the Friars dating back to the 2011-12 season.
The last time BU lost two straight contests against the Friars was during the 2008-09 campaign.
The Terriers are 22-3-2 since that two-game losing skid.

LAST TIME AGAINST PROVIDENCE

YOU FRIARS FROM PROVIDENCE?

Providence has lost just once in 10 league games this year, a 7-4 defeat at Boston College on Nov. 3.
The Friars took three of four points from UConn last weekend.
Juniors Cassidy MacPherson (4g, 13a) and Christina Putigna (8g, 9a) lead the Friars with 17 points.
MacPherson's 13 helpers lead Providence.
Freshman Maureen Murphy has scored a team-high 12 goals.
Junior Madison Myers has started all 17 games in which she has appeared.
She is 9-4-4 with a 1.91 goals-against average and a .929 save percentage.

BEST OF BU AGAINST THE FRIARS

Victoria Bach leads the Terriers in goals (9), assists (9) and points (18) against Providence.
Rebecca Leslie is not far behind with 14 points (7g, 7a) against the Friars.
Nina Rodgers (2g, 2a) has four career points against Providence, followed by Abby Cook (1g, 2a) with three points.
Savannah Newton and Connor Galway each have two helpers against PC.
Mary Grace Kelley has lit the lamp against the Friars.
Erin O'Neil is 4-0-0 in four starts against the Friars thanks to a .961 save percentage and a minuscule 1.00 goals-against average.

RECAPPING THURSDAY'S WIN AT YALE

Senior Victoria Bach scored four goals to help lead BU to a 5-2 win at Yale.
The Terriers took a 3-0 lead into the final frame before Yale tallied twice.
Redshirt sophomore Abbey Stanley's goal with 1:36 to play made it 4-2 before Bach added an empty-netter.
Freshman Corinne Schroeder made 30 saves.
Senior captain Rebecca Leslie added two assists to join Stanley (1g, 1a) with a multiple-point night.
Junior Mary Grace Kelley, sophomore Breanna Scarpaci and freshman Nara Elia all added an assist apiece.

TERRIERS PLAYING WELL ON THE ROAD

BU has played well away from Walter Brown over the last month.
The Terriers are 3-0-2 since Oct. 29 in true road games and are 4-1-2 when neutral site contests are included.
That one loss came against No. 1 Wisconsin.
In all but one of the Terriers' nine games away from Walter Brown Arena, they have scored first.

ANOTHER FOUR GOALS FOR BACH

Senior Victoria Bach continued her outstanding season on Thursday with the second four-goal effort of the year.
The National Player of the Month for November took over the NCAA lead in goals with her 21st marker of the year to seal a 5-2 win at Yale.
Bach is the only NCAA player with three hat tricks and two four-goal games this season.
All three of her hat tricks have come away from home; two were on the road and one was at a neutral site.
In fact, Bach has as many or more four-goal contests than 13 Division I schools this season.

BACH SCORING AT HISTORIC PACE

Senior Victoria Bach became the fastest Terrier to 20 goals in program history, achieving that feat in just her 18th game of the season.
Bach is also the first Terrier to score 20 goals in four different seasons.
She is just seven goals away from surpassing Sarah Lefort ('16) for most goals at BU; Lefort lit the lamp 92 times in her storied career.

LESLIE KEEPS ON ROLLING

Senior captain Rebecca Leslie is in the midst of a terrific stretch of games.
She extended her point streak to nine games (9g, 12a) with her pair of helpers at Yale.
Thursday was the eighth straight game in which Leslie notched at least two points, which is the nation's longest active multi-point streak.
She has tallied 15 goals and 18 assists for 33 total points this year.

NEXT UP

BU will be off until Dec. 30 when the Terriers travel to Princeton for a weekend series.
Puck drop on the 30th is set for 3 p.m., with the game on Dec. 31 scheduled for 1 p.m.
