BOSTON - Returning to Case Gym for the first time since the season opener, the Boston University women's basketball team will open up a two-game series against Army on Saturday, Feb. 13 at 1 p.m. The Terriers will return to action the following day at 1 p.m.
BU will honor Mackenzie Miers, Tenisha Pressley and Katie Nelson prior to Sunday's tip. Over their time in Boston, the trio has guided the turnaround of the program, helping the Terriers reach their highest marks yet as a member of the Patriot League. Since their freshman season, the team has improved its win total each season, culminating with its best record as a league member last season, and directed the Terriers to their best start to a season in over three decades this year.
The Terriers were originally scheduled to host Colgate last weekend, but the Raiders caught the injury bug and did not have enough players to compete. Lehigh had to cancel its series against Lafayette due to a positive COVID-19 test, leaving the Leopards available to reschedule with BU. The Terriers departed from Boston less than 24 hours after making the schedule change, and pulled away with the win after a 20-day layoff from competition.
Home court advantage is crucial for the Terriers as they went 11-5 at Case Gym last season, which included a 9-1 mark against conference opponents. Dating back to last season, the Terriers have won 12 of their last 13 games at home. Six of BU's final seven scheduled games of the regular season will take place at The Roof.
Army has won four of its last five games, bringing its overall record to 9-8 and is 6-6 in Patriot League action. Alisa Fallon has two double-doubles over the last three games, and is leading the team in scoring (12.4) and ranks second in rebounding (8.0). Dave Magarity will be making his final trip to Case Gym after a 47-year coaching career, which includes the last 16 as the leader of the Black Knights.
