BOSTON - After earning just one win in its final six October games, the No. 12/11 Boston University opens up its November schedule on Friday (Nov. 3) at Agganis Arena with the back end of a home-and-home with No. 6 Providence. Game time is set for 7:30 p.m.
The Friars earned a 3-0 home win on Saturday over the Terriers, who are just 1-3-1 at home thus far this season.
The Terriers and Friars first met in the 1926-27 season and have played 179 times since that encounter. BU leads the series, 107-56-16, and is 12-5-3 against Providence in their past 20 meetings but has just one win in the past seven (1-3-3). The Terriers are 13-4-3 (.725) against the Friars in the 20 meetings at Agganis Arena.
