The Terriers enter the weekend with a 5-4 record and are 1-0 in conference play following a 5-1 triumph over Lafayette in their Patriot League opener on Saturday. Most recently, BU dropped a hard-fought 1-0 contest to then-No. 17 Princeton on Sunday.

Colgate is 2-7 on the year with an 0-2 Patriot League mark and is coming off a 3-1 road loss to Bryant on Sunday. The Raiders two victories this season came against LIU Brooklyn and Siena and their conference losses were at the hands of Lafayette (3-2, ot) and Holy Cross (4-0).

BU is 6-1 all-time against Colgate and a perfect 4-0 since joining the Patriot League. The Terriers have posted 9-0 victories in each of the past two meetings, which are the two largest shutout wins in program history. The Raiders' lone win in the series came when the teams first met in 1983.

The reigning Patriot League Player of the Week, freshman Ailsa Connolly leads the Terriers in both points (12) and goals (6) and her six tallies have come on just eight shots. Senior co-captain Grace Boston has eight points on three goals and two assists while freshmen Petra Hall and Miya Dension have recorded three goals apiece. Junior Kara Enoch has team highs in both assists (3) and shots (19).

In goal, junior Kathleen Keegan (1.78 GAA, .692 save%) and freshman Millie Baker (2.00, .609) have split time in all nine games, playing 315 minutes apiece. Baker has been strong as of late and hasn't allowed a goal in over 74 minutes.  

Colgate is paced by sophomore Iona MacKillop, who leads the squad in points (8) and goals (3) while freshmen Meghan Minturn and Michaela Corvi have each tallied two goals and an assist. Senior goalkeeper Maria Krull has had three performances of 15 or more saves this season and currently sports a league-best .792 save percentage to go along with a 2.16 goals-against average.
