Looking to gain some ground in the race for Hockey East home ice, the Boston University women's ice hockey team travels north to Vermont to take on one of the nation's hottest teams.

TERRIER UPDATE

• Senior Courtney Correia leads BU in both goals (11) and points (21).
• Junior Julia Nearis is tops on the squad with 12 assists and is tied with senior Mackenna Parker (9g, 7a) for second on the Terriers with 16 points.

• The Terriers have lost two straight games against UVM just once in their 16 seasons as a varsity program.

SCOUTING THE CATAMOUNTS

BACK IN OCTOBER

• Stuart made 23 saves in her 65 minutes of work.

LAST TIME OUT

• Making her first collegiate start, senior Nicole McGuigan turned in a 34-save effort for the Terriers.
• BU held the Huskies to just four shots in the opening period but entered the first intermission with a 1-0 deficit.
