BOSTON – With its CAA quarterfinal ticket already punched courtesy of Friday's 55-50 win at Hofstra, the Northeastern women's basketball team will look to hone in on securing its first top-five regular-season finish in the league since 2012-13 when NU visits College of Charleston on Sunday, Feb. 25. Tipoff between the Huskies and the Cougars is scheduled for 2 p.m. at TD Arena.

CAA STANDINGS
 
After surviving Hofstra's fourth quarter charge on Friday night at the Mack Sports Complex and collecting the 55-50 victory, Northeastern (9-7 CAA) has guaranteed itself a top-six seed in the 2018 CAA tournament, marking the third consecutive year during which the Huskies will enter the postseason in the quarterfinal round.
 
With two CAA regular-season games remaining on Northeastern's schedule, the Huskies can receive either the No. 4, No. 5, or No. 6 seed during the upcoming conference tourney. NU can clinch a top-five seed with a win during either of its final two regular-season league games.
