HISTORY WITH BROWN

  • Tuesday will be the sixth all-time meeting between BU and Brown.

  • BU bested Brown, 6-4, last year.

ABOUT LAST YEAR'S WIN OVER BROWN

  • Brown scored two goals in 52 seconds to take a 4-3 lead at the 5:37 mark of the third period, but BU scored three straight goals of its own to pick up a 6-4 victory on Nov 28, 2017, at Walter Brown Arena.
  • Jesse Compher tallied two goals.
  • Abby Cook recorded four assists, all of which were the primary helper.

COMPHER COLLECTING POINTS

  • Sophomore Jesse Compher leads BU with 11 assists and 18 points after she extended her point streak to eight games with two points on Tuesday at Boston College.
  • It was her fourth straight multi-point effort, as Compher notched a goal and an assist against the Eagles.

  • She has factored on 16 of the Terriers' last 19 goals (6g, 10a).

MORE ON COMPHER'S RECENT RUN

  • No other player in the NCAA has recorded more points than sophomore Jesse Compher over her last four games.
  • She has turned in a nation-best four multi-point efforts since Nov. 9 and is one of just two players in the entire country (Kelly Pannek, Minnesota) to record a goal in four straight games.
  • Compher has notched an NCAA-best 10 points over that span.

DAVIS DYNAMITE LATELY

  • Redshirt junior tri-captain Sammy Davis has been outstanding over the last four games.
  • She has notched eight points (3g, 5a) in that stretch, including two assists on Nov. 20 at Boston College.
  • That streak began on Nov. 9 at UConn when she tallied two goals and one assist, including the unassisted game-winner just 47 seconds after UConn tied the game.
  • That was Davis' first three-point game since Oct. 7, 2016.
  • Davis then tallied three points (1g, 2a) over the weekend of Nov. 16-17 against Vermont, including a third-period goal on Nov. 17 that broke a 2-2 tie and nearly proved to be the winner.
  • The tri-captain leads the Terriers with seven goals and is second on the squad with 13 points.
