BU dropped a 6-3 decision to Northeastern on Oct. 7 at Matthews Arena.
That defeat came a day after NU edged BU, 3-2, in overtime at Walter Brown Arena.
Savannah Newton notched a goal and an assist in the 6-3 loss, with Victoria Bach and Mary Grace Kelley also lighting the lamp.
Jesse Compher, Nina Rodgers and Natasza Tarnowski all had an assist apiece.
Erin O'Neil made 34 saves.

HISTORY WITH THE HUSKIES

Tuesday will be the 55th meeting between the crosstown rivals.
The Terriers are 31-18-5 all-time against the Huskies, including an 11-8-2 at Matthews Arena.
The Terriers have won at least one game each season against the Huskies during the program's 13-year history.

BEST OF BU AGAINST NU

Victoria Bach has tallied a team-best 15 points thanks to seven assists and a team-high eight goals.
Rebecca Leslie has notched a team-best eight assists against Northeastern in addition to her two goals against the Huskies for 10 total points.
Thirteen other Terriers have recorded at least one point against NU, including multi-point scorers Nina Rodgers (1g, 3a), Natasza Tarnowski (1g, 2a), Mary Grace Kelley (1g, 1a), Savannah Newton (1g, 1a), Kristina Schuler (1g, 1a) and Abbey Stanley (2a).

NEWS ABOUT NORTHEASTERN

The Huskies most recently split a weekend series with No. 2 Boston College, including a 4-2 road win on Friday.
Senior McKenna Brand leads the team in goals (13), assists (12) and points (25).
Junior Brittany Bugalski has started 17 of the 18 games in which she has appeared, posting a 2.75 goals-against average and a .900 save percentage.
Freshman Aerin Frankel has recorded a .938 save percentage and a 1.99 goals-against average in 10 games played, seven of which she has started.

THE BACH AND LESLIE FACTOR

This past weekend marked the return of seniors Victoria Bach and Rebecca Leslie after they missed the previous four games while at the 2018 Nations Cup with Canada.
BU averaged just 1.25 goals per game during Bach and Leslie's four-game absence.
Contrast that with a mark of 3.55 goals per game in the 20 contests in which the dynamic duo has skated on the same line.
Bach tallied a goal and an assist in each game against Providence, with Leslie securing two points (1g, 1a) on Saturday against the Friars.
