COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Fourth-ranked Maryland faces its third-consecutive ranked opponent when it hosts No. 18/20 Boston College on Thursday, Feb. 16 at 7 p.m. The Terps are looking for the regular-season sweep over the Eagles who are making their first-ever trip to College Park.

Maryland (22-3, 9-2 ACC) will attempt to pick up its fifth victory of the season over a ranked opponent when the Eagles make their first-ever trip to Comcast Center. BC will have a big challenge on their hands as the Terps are 12-1 this season on their home floor and 37-7 (88.1 percent) over the last two seasons.

The Terps are coming off a rare feat where they faced back-to-back No. 1 teams. Maryland started its stretch of playing three ranked opponents by beating then-No. 1 North Carolina, 98-95, in overtime in Chapel Hill, N.C., on Feb. 9. They traveled back down to the triangle area four days later to face another No. 1 team in Duke, but fell, 90-80, in Cameron Indoor Stadium. The team has played in seven games so far this season against a ranked opponent.

In the first ever meeting between the teams on Jan. 5, Maryland defeated BC, 67-64, in overtime in both teams' ACC opener. Sophomore Crystal Langhorne (Willingboro, N.J./Willingboro) led all players with 24 points and 13 rebounds.

Boston College (19-6) is on a roll heading into Thursday's game. After dropping its first four ACC games, BC has won its last six to improve to 6-4 in league play and sits in a tie for fourth place in the ACC standings.
