The Boston University women's ice hockey team will host Vermont on Friday night at Walter Brown Arena. Game time is set for 7 p.m.

LOOKING TO USE THOSE BROOMS

BU can complete a regular-season sweep of the Catamounts with a win on Friday.
The Terriers earned a pair of wins at Vermont in November, defeating the Catamounts 7-1 on Nov. 17 before a 3-1 win the next day.
It would be the first time since the 2012-13 season that the Terriers won all three regular-season showdowns against Vermont.
Senior Victoria Bach notched four goals and five points in the 7-1 win before scoring again on Nov. 18.

HISTORY WITH THE CATAMOUNTS

BU is 30-7-6 overall against UVM, including a 17-2-4 record at Walter Brown Arena.
The Terriers have only lost once at home to Vermont during the regular season.
BU and UVM skated to a pair of ties at Walter Brown last season (3-3, 1-1).

BEST OF BU AGAINST VERMONT

Rebecca Leslie (13g, 10a) and Victoria Bach (12g, 11a) both have 23 career points against Vermont.
Mary Grace Kelley has tallied one goal and four assists for five points.
Reagan Rust (3a) and Abbey Stanley (1g, 2a) each tallied three points in that weekend sweep in November.
Jesse Compher (2a), Abby Cook (2a), Savannah Newton (2a) and Natasza Tarnowski (1g, 1a) each have two career points against UVM.
Corinne Schroeder has won both of her starts against Vermont, posting a 1.00 goals-against average and a .968 save percentage to help BU earn a weekend sweep in November.

CHATTING ABOUT THE CATAMOUNTS

Vermont swept Northeastern this past weekend in Burlington, earning 5-2 and 4-3 victories over the Huskies.
Sophomore Eve-Audrey Picard tallied five goals against Northeastern, including a hat trick on Saturday, and leads the team in goals (11), assists (10) and points (21).
Senior Amanda Drobot also has 10 assists while junior Alyssa Gorecki is second in points with 16 (7g, 9a).
In 21 starts, Sydney Scobee is 7-11-3 with a .920 save percentage and a 2.75 goals-against average.

WHERE DOES BACH RANK NATIONALLY?

Senior Victoria Bach is third in the country with 54 points.
Her 32 goals is second in the NCAA, though Bach does lead the nation with 1.28 goals per game.
In addition, no other player has more multi-goal games (9), hat tricks (4) or four-goal games (2) than Bach.
Bach is also tied for ninth with 22 assists this season.
She has generated an NCAA-best 6.36 shots on goal per game.
Bach's 25 even-strength goals is first in the nation, as are her three shorthanded strikes.
She also leads the country with 20 road goals, while an additional five markers have also come at neutral sites this season.
Bach has not gone two straight games without a point this season.

WHEN PK IS ON, BU IS ON

The Terriers are 15-for-16 on the penalty kill over the last four games.
That mark of 93.8 percent ranks seventh in the NCAA since Jan. 16.
On Saturday, BU went 4-for-5 on the PK, including a crucial stretch of 1:38 when the Terriers killed a 5-on-3 disadvantage in the third period.

COMPHER COMES THROUGH AGAIN

Freshman Jesse Compher collected her fourth goal in six games on Thursday at Merrimack thanks to her game-winner.
Her power-play strike at 1:04 of the second stanza gave BU a 2-1 lead that it never surrendered.
She followed that with an assist on Saturday to extend her point streak to four games (2g, 2a).
Compher has been on a roll over the last seven games, recording a point in six of those tilts (4g, 4a).
She now has six goals and 15 assists for 21 points this season.

LESLIE KEEPS ON ROLLING

Senior captain Rebecca Leslie is in the midst of a terrific stretch of games.
Her 10-game point streak and nine-game multi-point streak ended on Jan. 12, but she has bounced back with four two-point efforts in her last five games.
Since Nov. 10, Leslie has recorded at least two points in an NCAA-best 81.2 percent of games.
She has tallied 18 goals and 27 assists for 45 total points this year, with all 45 points coming in the last 21 games.
Leslie is seventh in the NCAA in total assists and fifth in the nation with 1.08 assists per game.
She is just four assists from matching Marie-Philip Poulin's program record of 100 career assists at BU.
