BOSTON – Eager to salvage a split of its CAA road trip through Virginia, the Northeastern women's basketball team will turn its attention towards William & Mary on Sunday, Feb. 11, when the Huskies vie for the regular-season sweep of the Tribe during the two teams' 2 p.m. matchup at Kaplan Arena. Northeastern defeated William & Mary, 64-46, during the two programs' Jan. 21 meeting at Cabot Center.
 
ALL-TIME SERIES
 
Northeastern and William & Mary have offered each other little separation through their first 20 all-time meetings, which date back to the 2005-06 CAA season. The Huskies' 18-point home victory against the Tribe on Jan. 21 snapped a three-game, series-losing skid and leveled the all-time series at 10-10. It also catapulted NU back on top of the series' head-to-head scoring battle: 1,257-1,252 (+5).
 
Of the 11 single-digit results that both teams share, seven games have been decided by six points or less. Northeastern is 4-7 during single-digit games against William & Mary, but has sported six double-digit victories against the Tribe's three.
 
CAA STANDINGS
 
Following Friday's defeat at James Madison, Northeastern (7-5 CAA) slipped below its third-place tie with Elon to sole possession of fifth place in the conference chase. The Huskies will enter Sunday with a one-game lead on the sixth-place Tribe, while trailing the third-place Phoenix by only one game as well.

WHAT 2 WATCH 4
 
• Northeastern is in search of claiming its third true road win at Kaplan Arena and first since Feb. 19, 2009, when the Huskies topped the Tribe, 68-58.
 
• Gabby Giacone has earned three of her 10 career double-doubles against William & Mary, including the Huskies' Jan. 21 victory against the Tribe, during which she registered 14 points and 12 rebounds.
