BU will host No. 6 Boston College on Friday night before welcoming No. 9 Harvard next Tuesday night.

NEARIS NAMED LEAGUE'S TOP ROOKIE

Freshman forward Julia Nearis was named Hockey East Rookie of the Week on Monday.
Nearis was instrumental in the Terriers' 2-1 win at Providence as she scored both goals.
She also blocked a shot and won the only faceoff she took.

INSIDE NEARIS' STRONG START

Nearis has been sensational this season for BU, as she leads the squad with six goals.
Saturday was her second multi-goal game of the season; she also scored twice at Penn State on Oct. 26.
Nearis has notched five goals over the last four games, including the Terriers' last three goals.
She is second among NCAA and Hockey East rookies with six goals, which is also good for sixth overall in the conference.
The Beverly, Mass., native ranks fifth on the team with seven points (6g, 1a).

SCHROEDER CONTINUES TO SHINE

Junior Corinne Schroeder, named Hockey East Goaltender of the Month on Nov. 1, has yet to allow more than two goals in any of her eight starts this season.
That strong play continued at Providence on Saturday, as she stopped 26 shots, including all 13 she faced in the opening 20 minutes, to help BU earn a 2-1 victory.
She owns a .950 save percentage, which ranks fourth in the country.
Schroeder also boasts a top-10 goals-against average in the NCAA at 1.37.
She has allowed just four even-strength goals over her last five starts and just seven such goals total.

Compher was one of the best players in the country last year, earning Second Team All-America accolades.
A top-10 finalist for the Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award, Compher set a program record with 44 assists and also scored 17 goals for 61 points.

MATTIVI GETS ON THE SCORE SHEET
