THREE THINGS TO KNOW 
1. Series Edge:  Northeastern achieved its first-ever CAA regular season sweep of Elon during the 2018-19 season. Then-rookie Katie May notched her first career double-double during the Huskies' 79-71, league-opening victory in Boston, compiling 18 points and 10 rebounds. During the teams' March meeting in North Carolina, NU witnessed six players score in double figures as the Huskies roared to the 83-57 win, staging a 38-4 scoring run during the first half. Northeastern trails the all-time series, 7-3.
 
2. Hey, Rook:  The Huskies celebrated their second CAA Rookie of the Week selection of the 2019-20 season on Jan. 13 when freshman forward Mide Oriyomi was recognized for her breakthrough efforts at Drexel and Delaware. Oriyomi provided Northeastern with 20 quality bench minutes during its road win against the Blue Hens, charting a season high, 11 points, along with four rebounds and four steals. This season, Oryiomi's two double-digit bench scoring games rank immediately behind Kendall Currence's three such performances for the team lead.
 
3. Sharp as Glass:  Controlling the glass was the key to Northeastern's most recent win at Delaware, where the Huskies have now posted true road wins during two of the last three seasons. While setting a season high in rebounding margin (+13), NU simultaneously held the Blue Hens – the second best rebounding team in the CAA (39.1 per game) – to their lowest such margin of the year. Sophomore forward Alexis Hill hauled in a career high, 11 rebounds, to lead Northeastern on the glass at Delaware and rides back-to-back double-double games into Friday's tilt against Elon.
