BOSTON – Locked in as the No. 5 seed in next week's CAA tournament, the Northeastern women's basketball team will formally close the 2019-20 regular season on Saturday, March 7, when the Huskies travel to Hofstra for their league finale against the Pride. Saturday's game will air live on FloHoops with coverage beginning at 2 p.m.
 
THREE THINGS TO KNOW
1. Fab Five:  Despite its bye from Thursday's quartet of CAA regular season games, league results allowed Northeastern to secure the No. 5 seed in the 2020 CAA tournament, which will take place between March 11 and March 14 at Elon's Schar Center. The Huskies clinched a berth in the conference quarterfinals for the fifth consecutive year – the program's longest streak during its CAA tenure. NU is guaranteed a 2:30 p.m. tip-off in Thursday's CAA quarterfinal round against fourth-seeded Towson, with which the Huskies split the 2019-20 regular season series (home team went 2-0).
 
2. Round One:  Senior forward Ayanna Dublin scored a season high, 16 points, as Northeastern rolled to the 74-51 win against Hofstra at Matthews Arena during both teams' CAA regular season opener (Jan. 5). The Huskies enjoyed their best shooting game of the 2019-20 season, converting 56 percent of their attempts from the field, including a 71-percent clip inside the 3-point line. NU forced 25 turnovers out of the Pride, sporting the dominant, 31-12 advantage in points off turnovers. Stella Clark and Shannon Todd finished with 13 and 10 points, respectively, while Alexis Hill posted 11 points and six rebounds off the bench.
 
3. Top of the Hill:  Alexis Hill registered one of the best performances of her sophomore season last Sunday at College of Charleston, helping Northeastern stage a furious, 17-2 run to force overtime against the Cougars. Hill matched her career high, 28 points, with 12 rebounds, compiling her fifth double-double of the season and her fourth 20-point scoring game. Heading into the final day of the regular season, Hill ranks 11th among CAA players in scoring (13.0 points per game), third in field goal percentage (48.4) and second in steals per game (2.6).
