Scouting Boston U.
The Terriers have won three of their last five games and are coming off a win against Navy on Saturday, 66-55.

In her first season, Boston U. is led by head coach Marisa Moseley.
 
All-Time Series
The matchup dates back to the 1985-86 season with Boston U. holding a 13-7 advantage overall.
 
Last season, Lafayette swept the Terriers in all three games, including the opening round of the Patriot League Tournament.
 
Last Meeting
Lafayette jumped out to a 33-22 lead at the break, but Boston U. came back to win the season's first meeting, 47-44.
 
Olivia Martino led the way with 15 points for the Leopards and Drew Freeland added 11.
 
Irving matched Martino with 15 points with 14 boards as the Terriers held Lafayette to just 11 second half points to make the comeback.
 
Rebounding Crown
Sophomore Natalie Kucowski is just 16 rebounds shy of her freshman total of 309 which set the Lafayette single-season rebounds record. She will have to average just 5.3 rpg the rest of the regular season to best her freshman self in her sophomore year.
 
Over her last six games, she has had two 19-rebound performances and has averaged 13.5 rpg and has 15 double-digit rebound games this season.
 
Century-Mark Rejections
Kucowski recorded two blocked shots at Navy for 100 rejections in her Lafayette career. She is just the fifth Leopard ever to compile 100-plus blocks in her College Hill career.
 
Century-Mark Games
Senior Alex Cantwell played her 100th career game at Navy donning the Maroon and White. She is the 53rd player in program history to join the 100-games played club, joining her mother, Theresa O'Connell, who played 113 games for Lafayette.
 
Short Staffed
Dropping four of the last seven games with fourth quarter leads is a tough pill to swallow, but a series of illnesses have plagued the Leopards in the backend of January and into February. Senior Alex Cantwell played through illness at American while Lafayette was without junior Tasha Vipond and freshman Jiselle Havas for the BU game. Vipond also was unavailable at Holy Cross on Feb. 2 and on the road at Bucknell Feb. 9. Last time out, Martino was the latest Leopard to be unavailable. She has missed the last three while Havas was again unavailable against the Greyhounds.
 
Cantwell's Starting Numbers
In her six starts this season, including the last four games, Cantwell has averaged 9.7 ppg and 6.2 rpg. Those numbers would rank second in each category among the Leopards.
 
Play4Kay
The Leopards celebrated their Play4Kay Game against Loyola and helped recognize breast cancer survivors and raise awareness for the cause. There were approximately 30 survivors in attendance and were recognized at the end of the first period and Lafayette wore special pink laces and socks to help raise awareness. 
 
Hey Nia!
Senior guard Nia Holland made her first appearance of the season against American, getting the starting nod on Senior Day. It was her first appearance since the 2017-18 season came to a close at American in the Patriot League Tournament. 

Classroom Success
The 2017-18 Leopards ranked No. 14 among Division I women's basketball programs for team GPA. Lafayette compiled a team GPA of 3.538 last season and were 1-of-2 Patriot League institutions to rank inside the top-25.
 
A Long Distance Battle
Sophomore Drew Freeland connected on a pair of 3-pointers at Navy to jump classmate Olivia Martino for sole possession of 14th on the all-time Lafayette 3-point field goals list with 60 in her career. She is sitting at 62 in her career behind Sara Harris '00 who hit 66 in her career.   
 
Havas' Hot Hand
Freshman Jiselle Havas has been a spark off the bench in a number of games this season for the Leopards, at Navy. Coming off the bench, the rookie connected on three straight 3-pointers to go on a 9-0 run of her own to open the second quarter.
