BOSTON – Eager to tack on a second straight CAA win to Sunday's 55-47 victory against UNCW, the Northeastern women's basketball team will look to take down the league's first-place team on Friday, Jan. 27, when NU hosts Elon at 7 p.m. inside its home arena, Cabot Center. Last February against the Phoenix, four double-digit scorers backed the Huskies on Valentine's Day as NU captured a huge road victory at Elon's Alumni Gym.
 
ALL-TIME AGAINST ELON
 
Northeastern and Elon had never competed against each other prior to the Phoenix's arrival in the CAA at the beginning of the 2014-15 season. Although NU is 1-3 against Elon since then, the Huskies did win the most recent contest, 67-61, outscoring the Phoenix by nine points during the second half. With a win on Friday night, NU would collect its first-ever home victory against Elon in three tries and snap a three-game losing skid by the home team.
 
TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT
 
The Huskies' six-point victory against the Phoenix on Feb. 14, 2016, is not only the largest winning margin by either team through four all-time meetings, but is also the first contest decided by more than one possession. Elon's three series victories have been sequentially by three points (80-77, OT; Jan. 25, 2015), one point (74-73; Feb. 19, 2015), and two points (56-54; Jan. 29, 2016).
 
HUSKIES AT HOME
 
Northeastern's Jan. 22 victory improved the Huskies' record at Cabot Center to 4-3 during the 2016-17 season. The Huskies have also won three of their last four games and are 2-1 on their home floor in conference play.
 
ELON ON THE ROAD
 
Elon's eight wins away from its home floor this season rank as the most among CAA programs. Overall, the Phoenix are 6-3 in true road competitions (2-0 in neutral-site games) and 3-0 within conference play. Since Nov. 18, Elon has gone 8-2 away from Alumni Gym, dropping two single-digit games against ACC members North Carolina (L, 73-78) and No. 21 Duke (L, 61-68).
 
COMMON OPPONENTS
 
Considering common opponents, Northeastern is 0-4 against Delaware, Drexel, James Madison, and William & Mary, while Elon is 4-1. The Huskies have faced each of these four teams strictly once, while the Phoenix have already defeated Drexel twice. Elon's one common-opponent loss is against James Madison on Jan. 20 (L, 70-76).
 
UP NEXT
 
Northeastern will travel to Philadelphia on Sunday, Jan. 29, to return its Jan. 8 home game against Drexel at the Dragons' Daskalaskis Center. Tipoff is set for 2 p.m.
