• Maggie Pina managed 17 points and five rebounds for the Terriers, who began the contest on a 17-2 run and scored 15 of the game's final 18 points after Loyola had pulled within six midway through the fourth quarter.
• Dixon hit 6 of 11 field goal attempts overall, including 4 of 6 shots from beyond the arc. Her four made 3-pointers were a new career high, while her 16 overall points were tied for second-highest output in a game this winter.

• The Terriers led by as many as 14 points in the third quarter, but an Emily McAteer 3-pointer made it a 50-44 contest with 4:43 remaining in regulation. Boston U scored the next six points out of the ensuing media timeout to put the game out of reach for good.
• Charia Roberts added seven points for the visitors, while Bri Rozzi supplied six points, four assists and three steals. Foul trouble limited Lex Therien to six points and three rebounds, as her streak of five-straight games with 10+ boards came to an end.
• After missing the first 16 games of the season due to injury, Emma Glezen played seven minutes in her 2021-22 debut off the bench. She grabbed one rebound and hit 1 of 2 free throw attempts.

• Lex Therien was named Patriot League Rookie of the Week on January 10 after averaging 18 points and 12.5 rebounds in games against Boston University and Bucknell. The award was her third of the season and fourth this year for Loyola (Laura Salmerón).

• With her 10-point, 10-rebound game on January 15 against Lehigh, Lex Therien recorded her fourth-straight double-double. She is the first Loyola player to have four in a row in 11 years since Miriam McKenzie did it four games in a row from January 22-30, 2011.
