BOSTON – Past the midway point of Patriot League play, the Boston University women's basketball program welcomes Loyola Maryland to The Roof on Saturday (Feb. 4). Opening tip is set for 2 p.m.

BU vies for its 11th-consecutive win, having not lost since Dec. 21, 2022. Entering Friday (Feb. 3), the Terriers are one of nine teams in Division I unbeaten in conference play with 10 or more victories.

Loyola Maryland, meanwhile, seeks its first win since Jan. 5, and second win of the 2023 calendar year. The Greyhounds are two games behind Colgate, Bucknell, and American for sixth place in the standings, and one game ahead of Navy.

For Saturday's game, the program will celebrate National Girls and Women in Sports Day, which took place on Feb. 1, with a postgame shootaround and autograph session for all fans. The contest also marks the Play Bold Game, as the organization will collect basketballs and sneakers for donations.

Fans in eighth grade and below are free admission, and kids attending the game can receive a BU Basketball jump rope, while supplies last. Season ticket holders can also pick up a voucher at the marketing table for a concession voucher.

Due to multiple BU home athletic competitions on Feb. 4, a parking advisory will be in effect. Fans attending the game are encouraged to park in the Agganis Arena garage. For more information, click here.
