BOSTON -- The Northeastern women's hockey team (1-2-3) continues its season-opening, eight-game road trip with its first Hockey East game of the season, a Tuesday night contest at rival Boston University at 7 p.m. The Huskies will be looking for a bit of revenge after suffering a season-ending setback at the hands of the Terriers, 3-2, in the 2014 Hockey East semifinals.

LAST TIME OUT
After falling, 3-2, to Robert Morris last Friday, the Huskies battled back to earn a 2-2 draw with the Colonials in the series finale on Saturday. Trailing 2-0 entering the third period, Northeastern responded with a goal in the first and last minutes of the frame to knot the game at two-apiece. Sophomore Hayley Masters scored her second goal of the year just 32 seconds into the period, before junior Kendall Coyne brought the game level with an extra-attacker goal at the 19:43 mark. Northeastern posted a season-high 45 shots on goal in the game, but could only sneak two shots past RMU netminder Courtney Vinet. 

SCOUTING THE TERRIERS
Boston University enters Tuesday's game as the No. 6 ranked team in the latest USCHO.com national poll. The Terriers (4-2-0) started their season with a win over St. Cloud State, but fell the following day against No. 1 Minnesota, 5-2. BU then posted an impressive two-game sweep at No. 7 Clarkson, before splitting a pair of games at Maine in its most recent action. The dynamic offensive duo of Sarah Lefort and Marie-Philip Poulin pace the BU attack; the players have combined for eight goals and seven assists through six games. Victoria Hanson (3-0-0, 1.08 GAA) and Erin O'Neil (1-2-0, 3.18 GAA) have split time in net. The Terriers were picked as the preseason favorite in Hockey East after winning the conference title for the third straight season back in March. 

FRESHMAN FIREPOWER
Northeastern's freshman class has accounted for 14of the team's 35 points (40%) through six games this season. Defenseman Lauren Kelly (three goals, one assist) and forward Denisa Krizova (one goal, three assists) pace the class with four points apiece. Of the Huskies' eight offensive freshmen, six have recorded at least a point thus far.

TAMING THE TERRIERS
In nine career games against Boston University, junior Kendall Coyne has amassed 17 points on 11 goals and six assists (1.89 points per game). The last time Coyne faced the Terriers was in the 2013 Hockey East championship game, during which she scored a goal in a 5-2 BU win.

MULTI-POINT MANIA
Junior Kendall Coyne recorded a goal and an assist on Oct. 25 at Robert Morris to give her 38 career multi-point games. In 71 career contests, Coyne has registered 24 two-point games, seven three-point efforts, six four-point performances, and one six-point bonanza. Coyne has 12 career multi-assist efforts and 17 career multi-goal games, including four hat-tricks. 

GOALS IN DIFFERENT AREA CODES
After potting a goal on Oct. 17 at Mercyhurst, junior Kendall Coyne has now scored against 16 of the other 33 Division-I women's hockey teams (48%). Coyne has scored in eight different states, 14 different arenas, and 12 different towns/cities. Thirty-one of Coyne's 66 career goals have come away from Matthews Arena.
