BOSTON – Looking to box out William & Mary from the No. 6 seed in the 2019 CAA tournament, the Northeastern women's basketball team will play its penultimate game of the regular season on Thursday, March 7, when the Huskies visit the Tribe at Kaplan Arena for a 7 p.m. league contest. With a win, NU can clinch the No. 6 seed and the final bye to the CAA quarterfinal round.
 
CAA POSTSEASON PICTURE
• Entering the final weekend of the regular season, Northeastern (7-9 CAA) sits in sole possession of sixth place in the conference standings – one game ahead of seventh-place William & Mary (6-10 CAA).
• The Huskies can earn either the No. 6 or No. 7 seed in the 2019 CAA tournament (hosted by Delaware from March 13 to March 16).
• Northeastern can clinch the No. 6 seed and the final bye to the CAA quarterfinals with a win on Thursday against William & Mary.
• With a loss, NU would surrender its tiebreaker against William & Mary to the Tribe; both teams will have split their regular season series, but William & Mary's 1-1 record against Drexel, which is guaranteed to finish among the top three seeds, would break the tie.
 
2018-19 SENIOR CLASS
• Northeastern's 2018-19 senior class has compiled 60 wins – a tie for the eighth most by a four-year graduating class during program history.
• The 2018-19 senior class has attained the most wins (60) and best winning percentage (.500) since the 2000-01 senior class posted 67 victories (.573).
• Point guard Jess Genco currently holds career program records in minutes played (4,483), games started (117), assists (518), 3-point field goals (288) and 3-point field goals attempts (812).
• Considering Jess Genco (1,482 career points) and Gabby Giacone (1,071), Northeastern is competing with two active members of its 1,000-point scoring club for the first time since the 2012-13 season (Deanna Kerkhof, Kash Cannon).
 
COACHES vs. CANCER 3-POINT CHALLENGE
• Throughout the remainder of the 2018-19 regular season, the Northeastern women's basketball team will be participating in the 2019 Coaches vs. Cancer 3-Point Challenge – a national initiative during which collegiate and high school basketball teams unite for a common cause to end cancer.
• The Huskies have successfully met their $1,000 fundraising goal, having hit 62 3-pointers (as of March 6).

WITH A WIN …
• Northeastern would set the program record for most regular season wins during its CAA tenure (since 2005-06).
 
RECORD WATCH
• Gabby Giacone needs one career appearance to tie the Northeastern program record (120) set by Ashlee Feldman (2005-09) and Dani Iervolino (2009-12).
 
REGULAR SEASON TRENDS
• Northeastern is 14-0 this season when holding its opponent to less than 40 percent shooting from the field (6-0 during CAA play).
• The Huskies are 12-4 when outrebounding their opponent, experiencing their defeats at Marist (+1), at Towson (+14), against Drexel (+8) and against Hofstra (+5).
• NU has posted a 14-2 record this year when registering 14 or more team assists.
 
UP NEXT
