St. Francis arrives in Burlington after starting the 2015-16 season 0-3. The Terriers captured the Northeast Conference title last season for the first time in program history after defeating Robert Morris 77-62 in the conference championship.
 
The Terriers lost 72-percent (46 ppg) of their offense from the 2014-15 campaign and return one starter, senior Leah Fechko. Fechko paces the offense this season averaging 13.7 ppg, 7.3 rpg and 2.0 steals as she is the only Terrier registering double-figures per contest.

LAST TIME OUT
The Brown Bears remain undefeated as they posted their fifth win of the season over the University of Vermont women's basketball team 71-54 on Monday evening at the Wendell R. Erickson Athletic Complex.
 
Andreana Thomas picked up her first double-double as a Catamount as she led Vermont's offense by posting 15 points and 11 rebounds. Candice Wright chipped in a game-high 17 points. As a team, UVM pulled down 43 rebounds and finished with an edge of four on the boards.
 
Momentum shifted back in Vermont's favor earlier in the second half as Candice Wright knocked down two sets of free throws and a pair of layups to put the Catamounts to bring the Catamounts back to within 13 of Brown. Thomas used her speed to take over and single-handedly went on a 10-2 run over the Bears from under the basket and the foul line, going 6-for-7 from the charity stripe.
 
Candice Wright and Courtney Wright tallied Vermont's 10 fourth-quarter points but it was not enough as Brown secured its 17-point victory over the Catamounts.
