The No. 8 Boston University women's ice hockey team will travel to Vermont for a Friday night contest against the Catamounts. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m.

HISTORY WITH THE CATAMOUNTS

The Terriers are 31-8-7 all-time against Vermont, including a 13-5-2 record at Gutterson Fieldhouse.
BU outscored the Catamounts, 10-2, in a weekend sweep at Gutterson Fieldhouse last season.
The Terriers have recorded at least one point against Vermont in all 14 seasons as a varsity program.

BEST OF BU AGAINST THE CATAMOUNTS

Sammy Davis leads the Terriers in goals (6), assists (8) and points (14) against Vermont, thanks in part to a three-point weekend (1g, 2a) in November.
Jesse Compher has recorded three goals and five assists for eight points in five games against the Catamounts.
Mary Grace Kelley (1g, 4a) and Abbey Stanley (1g, 3a) have five and four points, respectively, against UVM.
Reagan Rust has tallied three assists against Vermont while fellow defenders Connor Galway and Abby Cook each have two helpers against UVM.
Mackenna Parker collected three points (2g, 1a) in her first two games against the Catamounts back in November.
Natasza Tarnowski has tallied a goal and an assist while Kristina Schuler has lit the lamp and Katie Shannahan has one assist.

SCOUTING THE CATAMOUNTS

Vermont has lost four straight games and six of its last seven, with a 5-4 home victory over Merrimack on Jan. 12 the only triumph in that span.
The Catamounts were most recently swept in a weekend series at No. 3 Northeastern, though they did take the Huskies to overtime last Friday.
Eve-Audrey Picard leads the Catamounts in goals (7), assists (11) and points (18).
Kristina Shanahan (5g, 8a) and Saana Valkama (5g, 7a) are the other Catamounts with at least 10 points.
Melissa Black has started all 21 games in which she has appeared for Vermont.
She owns a 2.83 goals-against average and a .900 save percentage.
Black started both games at Walter Brown Arena in November.

QUITE THE STREAK FOR BU

The Terriers enter the weekend with the second longest active unbeaten streak in the nation at seven games.
BU saw its six-game win streak snapped thanks to a 3-3 tie at Merrimack this past Saturday afternoon.
Only Princeton's 19-game unbeaten streak is longer.

POLL POSITION

BU moved to No. 8 in both the USCHO.com poll and the USA Today/USA Hockey Poll that came out this week.
It's the first time since Oct. 5, 2015, that the Terriers have been ranked eighth or better in any national poll.

COMPHER FIRST TO 30 ASSISTS

Sophomore Jesse Compher became the first NCAA skater to collect her 30th assist of the season thanks to her two-assist effort in the 3-3 tie at Merrimack.
It was her 21st game with an assist this season, more than any other skater in the entire country.
Compher has recorded at least one assist in an NCAA-best 80.8 percent of her games this year.
She is also second in the country with seven multi-assist games this year.
Compher is second in the NCAA and first in the WHEA with 1.15 assists per game.
