BOSTON – With three games remaining in the 2022 season, the Boston University women's lacrosse program heads to its Patriot League road finale, visiting Bucknell on Saturday (Apr. 23). Opening draw is set for 2 p.m.

BU vies for its second road win in the last three games as it currently plays through a stretch of four road contests within five matchups. On the other sideline, Bucknell aims for its second victory in the month of April.

TERRIER TIDBITS

The Terriers fell to Lehigh at home, 13-12, on Apr. 16.
In a game where neither team led by more than three goals, BU almost erased a 13-10, fourth-quarter deficit, but ran out of time on the final possession of the game.
Junior Lauren Kaye tallied a career-high eight points off four goals and four assists, the most by a Terrier this season.
Sophomore Tobey Tick also scored a career-best four goals, her first hat trick as a Terrier.
As a team, the Terriers allowed just eight ground balls and six caused turnovers, both season-lows for an opponent.
Kaye has registered 15 points on seven goals and eight assists in her last three games. She leads BU with 14 assists and 35 points.
Tick has a six-game goal streak in progress. During that stretch, she has tallied 10 goals.
Junior Jennifer Barry racked up 14 draw controls vs. the Mountain Hawks to give 224 in her career. She enters Saturday's game 12 shy of the all-time record, currently held by Jill Horka (236).
This year, Barry's 141 draw controls rank third in the nation.
Redshirt junior Teagan Lucchese notched her first-career multi-goal game against Lehigh, and has eight points in her last four contests.
Junior Claire Gola and sophomore Kendall Sims are the two Terriers that have reached double figures in goals, ground balls, caused turnovers, and draw controls this season.
On defense, graduate student Jenny Feeney's 20 ground balls paces the unit, while senior Riley Kokoruda has 17 draw controls and 12 caused turnovers.

SCOUTING THE BISON

Bucknell enters the matchup with a 6-8 record, having lost three of their last four games.
The Bison are 3-4 in PL play. Their last matchup was a 21-2 setback to No. 7 Loyola Maryland.
Freshman Allie Boyce leads the team with 33 goals and 28 points. Three different Bison have 10-plus assists, led by rookie Taylor McClain's 11.
Senior Abby Neff is top-five in the league in both caused turnovers per game (1.36) and ground balls per game (2.14).
Bucknell leads the Patriot League and is 24th in the nation with 9.14 caused turnovers per game.
The Bison were projected to finish eighth in the league after going 3-5 in PL action a season ago, tallying a 3-6 overall record.

SERIES HISTORY

Saturday marks the ninth all-time meeting between BU and Bucknell in a series that began in 1996.
The Terriers have the 7-1 lead in the series, having won the last seven contests since joining the Patriot League ahead of the 2014 season.
