BOSTON – With a chance to tie its longest winning streak of the 2016-17 season, the freight train that is the Northeastern women's basketball team will pull into College of Charleston on Friday, Feb. 24, as the Huskies look to claim their fourth consecutive victory during a 6:30 p.m. matchup against the Cougars. NU opened its current three-game winning streak with a 61-44 victory against Charleston on Feb. 12 at Cabot Center and last won four contests in a row between Dec. 20 and Jan. 6.
Â
ALL-TIME AGAINST COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON
Â
Upon Northeastern defeating College of Charleston, 61-44, on Feb. 12, NU took its first-ever lead in the all-time series at 4-3. The Huskies have won three straight head-to-head games against the Cougars dating back to Feb. 5, 2016, and are 2-1 when facing Charleston at TD Arena. With a victory on Friday night, Northeastern would earn its second consecutive regular-season sweep of the Cougars.
Â
CAA TOURNEY RACE
Seeding discussed in this section includes the CAA's reversed results from Feb. 2. Records, per the CAA's ruling, do not. The top six seeds in the CAA tournament will enter the event in the quarterfinal round.
Â
Entering the final three games of the regular season, Northeastern (6-9 CAA) finds itself in the thick of the race to grab one of the top six seeds in next month's CAA tournament March 8-11). Although the Huskies are currently ranked in a three-way tie with William & Mary and College of Charleston, the trio of which hold conference records of 6-9, NU would receive the No. 6 seed outright if the season ended today based on the CAA's Feb. 2 ruling (William & Mary would gain a winning, reversed result and be assumed 7-8, while College of Charleston would lose two reversed results and be assumed 4-11).
Â
Northeastern also trails fourth-place Delaware by only two games with three to play and has a favorable league schedule to end the year. NU has combined to go 3-0 this season against its final three opponents: College of Charleston (W, 61-44), UNCW (W, 55-47), and Hofstra (W, 53-51, OT).
