Meeting for the fourth time this season, the Boston University women's ice hockey team will travel to Northeastern to face the No. 4/5 Huskies in the third-place game of the 43rd Women's Beanpot.

BEANPOT TIDBITS

This is a rematch of the 2020 championship game, which Northeastern won in double overtime after the Terriers forced a 3-3 tie with a last-minute goal by Sammy Davis.
The Terriers are 9-16-6 in Beanpot games since becoming a varsity program in 2005.
BU has won two Beanpot championships - one in 2019 and another in 1981 as a club team.

CURRENT TERRIERS IN THE BEANPOT

Seven current Terriers have recorded a point in the Beanpot.
Lacey Martin lit the lamp in her Beanpot debut last week against Harvard, on a goal assisted by first-time point getters Haylee Blinkhorn and Julia Nearis.
Mackenna Parker scored a goal as a freshman in 2019 while Courtney Correia, Kaleigh Donnelly and Nadia Mattivi each recorded one assist in the 2020 tournament.
Goaltender Kate Stuart made a career-high 45 saves against the Crimson last week in her first-ever Beanpot appearance.

NOTES ON BU

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.
Parker scored the game-tying shorthanded goal in a 1-1 draw against UConn this past Friday.

HISTORY WITH THE HUSKIES

BU is 32-25-9 all time against Northeastern, including an 11-12-3 record at Matthews Arena.
Ten of the last 12 matchups have been decided by two goals or fewer, including eight of those 12 resulting in either a 3-3 tie or a 2-1 scoreline.
The Terriers will look to even this year's regular-season series at 2-2; BU won the first matchup, 2-1, on Oct. 8 before the Huskies took the next two on Jan. 15 (3-1) and Jan. 21 (6-3).

SCOUTING THE HUSKIES

Northeastern bounced back from two straight losses, including a 3-1 defeat in its Beanpot opener against Boston College, with a 5-0 win at Merrimack on Friday.
The Huskies are without Alina Mueller, who is at the Olympics with Switzerland.
Senior Maureen Murphy leads Northeastern with 35 points thanks to a team-best 17 goals as well as 18 assists.
Chloe Aurard (15g, 17a) is second on the squad with 32 points, while Skylar Fontaine leads NU with 26 assists.
Goaltender Aerin Frankel, who was pulled after one period of work in the last BU-Northeastern matchup, is 17-3-1 this year with a 1.04 GAA and a .957 save percentage to go along with eight shutouts.
