STORYLINES
Army and Boston University meet for the second time in a week on Wednesday. The Black Knights will go toe-to-toe with the Terriers at Boston University's Case Gym this week after playing to a 72-38 victory on Feb. 24 at Christl Arena.
Army moved a step closer to locking up the top seed in the Patriot League Tournament, after taking a 69-49 decision over Lehigh on Feb. 27. With the win, the Black Knights extended their program-record winning streak to 15 games and matched the team standard for most wins in a season (25).
Over the last three games, senior Aimee Oertner is averaging 12.7 points, 6.7 rebounds and 5.7 blocks and has scored in double figures in seven straight outings. Classmate Kelsey Minato was named Patriot League Player of the Week for the sixth time this year on Monday, tying her for the most by a single player in Patriot League history.
