BOSTON - The Boston University women's ice hockey team returns to action after a two-week hiatus with a weekend home series against Syracuse on Friday (Oct. 20) and Saturday (Oct. 27).

Both games will be streamed on ESPN+.

TERRIER TIDBITS

The Terriers were idle last weekend after suffering a weekend sweep to then-No. 5/7 Northeastern on Oct. 6 & 7.
BU has welcomed back former captain Reagan Rust '19 as an assistant coach and Friday will mark her first game behind the bench.
The team has also elevated Bret Gilmour to goaltending coach after serving as a volunteer assistant the past two seasons.
Senior Catherine Foulem scored BU's lone goal in the opening weekend against the Huskies.
Freshman goaltender Mari Pietersen (22 saves) and graduate transfer Alexa Matses (28 saves) each have made one start in goalt.
Sophomores Sydney Healey and Clara Yuhn both recorded assists in the season-opening loss.

SERIES HISTORY

BU and Syracuse have met just once before as they battled to a 3-3 tie in the opening round of the Battle of the Burgh on Jan. 1, 2022.
The Terriers scored twice in the third period to rally from a two-goal deficit.
After a scoreless overtime in which BU had several chances to win, Syracuse scored in the fourth round of the shootout to advance to the championship game.

SCOUTING THE ORANGE

The Orange are coming off a 7-0 loss at No. 9 Cornell on Tuesday.
Syracuse recorded a home-and-home split against Rensselaer last weekend and its other two wins came in a season-opening sweep of Post.
Graduate student Kate Holmes leads the Orange with five points (1 g, 4 a).
Graduate goaltender Allie Kelley has started all seven games for the Orange and possesses a 3.01 goals-against-average and a .907 save percentage.

UP NEXT

The Terriers visit Maine next weekend for a two-game series on Friday (Oct. 27) and Saturday (Oct. 28).
Game times are set for 6 p.m. and 4 p.m., respectively.
