BOSTON, Mass. – Returning to Babcock Street following a three-game road trip, the Boston University women's basketball team plays its final game at Case Gym in the 2021 calendar year, taking on UNH on Monday, Dec. 13. Opening tip is set for 6 p.m.

The matchup also serves as BU's final home non-conference game of the season before Patriot League play begins at the end of December. The Terriers aim to establish its first winning streak of the season following its win at Merrimack last Thursday. So far in 2021, BU has gone 8-4 at The Roof, dating back to the start of the 2020-21 campaign.

UNH returns to action after its previous game against Commonwealth Avenue rival Boston College, originally scheduled for Saturday, was canceled and declared a no contest. The Wildcats are currently on a three-game losing streak, and seek their first road victory of the year.

Monday is Season Ticket Holder Appreciation Night; season ticket holders will receive concession vouchers as well as a gift at the marketing table in the Case lobby.
