BOSTON – For the final time in the 2024-25 regular season, the Boston University women's basketball program plays at Case Gym, hosting Lehigh on Wednesday, Feb. 26 at 6 p.m.
BU (10-16, 4-11 PL) searches for its first three-game winning streak on the season and back-to-back wins at The Roof for the first time since Nov. 4-21. The Terriers are currently tied with Lafayette, its next opponent, for seventh place in the Patriot League standings.
Lehigh (23-4, 14-1 PL) enters Wednesday in first place in the standings with three remaining regular season games. The Mountain Hawks lead second-place Army West Point by two games and can secure at least a share of the regular season championship with a win.
Wednesday marks ASL Night and the program's PlayBOLD game. In partnership with BU's Wheelock College of Education and Human Development's Program for Deaf Studies, fans will receive an ASL Alphabet Poster and participate in a halftime presentation. PlayBOLD, the nonprofit organization founded by BU head coach
Melissa Graves, is collecting new or gently-used sneakers and basketballs at the marketing table.
The game airs on ESPN+ with Brian Maurer (COM'07), Jack Hughes and Coty George-Davis on the call. GoTerriers.com will provide live statistics and an audio-only broadcast while the Patriot League supplies an international stream.
