BOSTON – Returning to the road for the first time in three weeks, the Northeastern women's basketball team will look to make a fresh CAA start at William & Mary on Friday, Feb. 14, when the Huskies visit the third-place Tribe at Kaplan Arena. Friday's game will air live on FloHoops with coverage beginning at 7 p.m.
 
THREE THINGS TO KNOW
1. Series Edge:  Northeastern has won three consecutive meetings against William & Mary and is one win away from tying its longest series winning streak. NU defeated the Tribe, 75-71, during its most recent trip to Kaplan Arena (March 2019), notching its third road win during its 12th opportunity in Williamsburg. The home team between the two programs has won eight of the last 10 series meetings.

2. Tenacious Todd:  Senior guard Shannon Todd enters Friday's game with 972 career points as she remains in pursuit of becoming the 22nd member of Northeastern's 1,000-point scoring club. With her next 3-point field goal, Todd will move into sole possession of fifth place on the Huskies' all-time leaderboard, breaking her tie with Kendra Walton (2006-10). Todd is also Northeastern's active leader in career games played (108) and games started (106).
 
3. Round One:  Junior point guard Stella Clark went off for 22 points when Northeastern came from behind to earn the 61-55 win against William & Mary at Cabot Center (Jan. 19). Sophomore forward Alexis Hill followed Clark's lead by posting her fourth of four-consecutive double-doubles (18 points, 10 rebounds). Facing the 27-20 halftime deficit, the Huskies rallied to outscore the Tribe, 23-9, during the third quarter, where NU shot seven-for-11 from the field. Clark broke the game's 50-50 tie with five straight points inside the final two minutes of regulation, helping Northeastern improve to 4-1 during the young CAA season.
