Lowell is wrapping up a four-game road trip with their trip to Case Gym, having gone 1-2 so far.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Each of the Terriers&#8217; opening five contests has been close, with the margin of victory all being within 10 points. This includes two one-possession losses to Ivy League teams in Brown and Dartmouth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The River Hawks were blown out by fellow Massachusetts rivals in Boston College and the University of Massachusetts Amherst, although they did sandwich these games with a win on the road against Central Connecticut.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>BU has dominated this matchup historically, winning eight games compared to two wins by Lowell. The Terriers are currently on a five-game win streak against the Riverhawks. The two teams have played four years in a row, with the Terriers winning each by an average margin of 14.5 points.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Early on, the Terriers have been led by fourth-year forward Anete Adler, who is the only Terrier averaging double figures at 13.3 points per game. Adler shines for the team with a dominant interior game, leading in field goal percentage, rebounds, and blocks, and is also second on the team in assists.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Fourth-year guard Jaini Edmonds leads the way as the only River Hawk averaging double-digit points per game at 10.5, although she has struggled shooting from the field. Third-year guard Maddie Rice has been Lowell\u2019s most reliable shooter, putting up a blistering 58.3% from 3-point range to go along with a team-leading 5.8 rebounds per game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>BU is hopeful they can end their home woes this weekend in the matchup against Lowell. The game is Saturday, November 22nd, at 2 p.m. and is available to stream on ESPN+.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Austin Rayamajhi The Boston University Terriers Women\u2019s Basketball team (2-3, 0-0 PL) is set to host the University of Massachusetts Lowell River Hawks Women\u2019s Basketball team (2-2, 0-0 AE) in a matchup between Massachusetts rivals.\u00a0 BU has dropped the first two games of the season at home and is coming off a loss on [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24112,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[19,1039,1040],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/wtbu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51500"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/wtbu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/wtbu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/wtbu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24112"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/wtbu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51500"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/wtbu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51500\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51502,"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/wtbu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51500\/revisions\/51502"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/wtbu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51500"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/wtbu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51500"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/wtbu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51500"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
