BOSTON -- The Northeastern women's basketball team (1-3, 0-0 CAA) travels to Providence to take on the Friars (2-1, 0-0 Big East) on Tuesday, November 18 at 11 a.m. The game will be played at Alumni Hall and streamed on ESPN+.

THREE THINGS TO KNOW

1. DYNAMIC DUO: Junior guard Yirsy Quéliz and sophomore guard Camryn Collins both rank in the top 10 of all CAA scorers through the first two weeks of the season. Quéliz leads the Huskies with 16.0 points per game and has reached double figures in all four games this season, including a career-high 22 points at Merrimack where she knocked down six three-pointers. Collins is averaging 14.0 points per game and has also scored in double figures in all four contests. The Foxboro, Massachusetts native is shooting an impressive 43.8% from the field and 46.7% from three-point range, providing a consistent scoring threat alongside Quéliz in the backcourt.
2. SCOUTING PROVIDENCE: The Friars lead the all-time series 17-3 against Northeastern, with the last meeting taking place on December 15, 2018 in Providence. It was Northeastern's third win of the series, 65-59. Providence enters Tuesday's matchup with a 2-1 record after defeating Central Connecticut State 65-40 on Monday. The Friars opened their season with a loss to Howard (68-56) before bouncing back with their two consecutive victories. Head coach Erin Batth is in her third season at Providence and has reloaded the roster after losing 10 players to graduation. Only three returning players have seen game action in a Friar uniform, with the remainder of the roster made up of five transfers and six freshmen.
3. DOMINATING THE GLASS: Despite their 1-3 record to start the season, the Huskies have consistently controlled play on the boards. Northeastern is averaging 38.0 rebounds per game while holding opponents to 33.8 boards per contest, good for a +4.3 rebounding margin. The Huskies have been particularly dominant on the offensive glass, pulling down 56 offensive rebounds compared to just 42 for opponents through four games. Taylor Holohan leads the team with 6.5 rebounds per game, followed by Nariyah Simmons (4.3) and Yirsy Quéliz (4.8). That advantage on the glass has led to valuable second-chance opportunities for the Huskies.

Following Tuesday's game at Providence, the Huskies will return home to host Sacred Heart on Saturday, November 22 at 1 p.m. in the Cabot Center. Tickets can be purchased at NUHuskies.com/tickets, and all Husky home games and CAA games will stream on FloCollege.
