BOSTON – Renewing its season-opening rivalry against Boston University, the Northeastern women's basketball team will look to begin its 2018-19 season with a crosstown victory on Friday, Nov. 9, when the Huskies play hosts to the Terriers at 12 p.m. NU is extending a warm welcome to all Boston Public Schools students who will be in attendance.
 
PROMOTIONS

SERIES HISTORY
• Northeastern and Boston University will open the regular season against each other for the sixth consecutive year. The Huskies are 4-1 during the series' recent stretch of regular season openers, experiencing their first such defeat during the two teams' most recent meeting at Case Gym.
• NU and BU have met at least once annually since the 1977-78 season. The Huskies trail the all-time series, 39-36, but are 24-12 when opposing the Terriers at home.
• Northeastern has won five of the last six series meetings against Boston University and six of the last eight matchups.
• The Huskies have won four consecutive games against the Terriers at Cabot Center, dating back to the teams' 2010 meeting.
• NU defeated BU during two of its three Seaboard conference championship seasons (1985 semifinals, 1986 title game).
• Northeastern has gone 6-7 against the Terriers since the Huskies departed from the Terriers and the America East at the conclusion of the 2004-05 season.
 
WHERE THE HUSKIES LEFT OFF
• Northeastern made its eighth postseason appearance during the 2017-18 season, advancing to the Women's Basketball Invitational (WBI). The Huskies hosted Yale during the tournament's first round at Cabot Center but were unable to turnaround their 10-point halftime deficit to the Bulldogs as NU was defeated, 68-58.
 
SEASON IN REVIEW: 2017-18
• Northeastern's 16 wins during the 2017-18 season rank as the second most that the Huskies have achieved during their first 13 seasons in the CAA (NU won 17 games during the 2012-13 campaign).
• The Huskies' 11 CAA regular season wins during the 2017-18 season are the most that Northeastern has claimed as a conference member, breaking the program's 10-win mark during the 2012-13 league calendar.
• NU finished the 2017-18 regular season tied for fourth place in the year-end CAA standings, matching the program's best placement as a conference member (fourth place, tie; 2012-13).
• Northeastern earned the No. 4 seed in the 2018 CAA tournament - tying its highest seed ever achieved in the event (2013). The Huskies opposed fifth-seeded Delaware during the league quarterfinals at Drexel's Daskalakis Athletic Center in Philadelphia, but lost to the Blue Hens, 61-50.
 
WHAT 2 WATCH 4
• Northeastern retains 77.4 percent of its 3-point production from the 2017-18 season. The Huskies led the CAA last year in both 3-point field goal percentage (34.2) and 3-point field goals per game (8.3).
• Jess Genco will begin her senior season ranked 20th on the Huskies' all-time scoring list (1,008 career points). Genco set the Northeastern single-season record for 3-point field goals during the 2017-18 campaign, draining 87 jumpers to break Kash Cannon's 2012-13 mark (80).
• The Huskies were picked to finish fifth in the 2018-19 CAA year-end standings, as voted on by the league's coaches in the conference's predicted order of finish.
