ON TAP AT DEGOL ARENA
The Bryant University women's basketball team continues Northeast Conference play when it heads to Loretto, Pa., for a showdown with Saint Francis U., Monday night at 7 p.m.
The Bulldogs enter Monday's contest looking to get back on track after their five-game win streak was snapped Saturday at Robert Morris.
SERIES HISTORY
Monday marks the 8th meeting between the two schools with the Red Flash holding 4-3 overall mark against Bryant dating back to the 2008-09 season. Historically, the Bulldogs are 0-4 in Loretto.
Last year, the two teams split their two matchups with the Red Flash narrowly topping the Black and Gold in PA in January before the Bulldogs picked up a dominant 25-point victory in Smithfield, helping propel Bryant to its first ever Division I postseason appearance.
SCOUTING THE RED FLASH
The Red Flash enter Monday's contest with a 4-10 overall record, 2-1 in the Northeast Conference. Currently riding a 2-game winning streak, Saint Francis is coming off back-to-back wins over Central Connecticut and Fairleigh Dickinson. Saturday against FDU, the Red Flash put up a whopping 111 points in a dominant performance to improve to 2-1 in league play.
Led by perennial all-leaguer and Preseason All-NEC unanimous pick Alli Williams, who averages nearly 23 points and 10 rebounds per contest, the Red Flash average nearly 80 points per contest and are 2-2 at home this season. Alexa Hayward ranks second on the team in scoring with 14 ppg, while Bridget Murphy and Aisha Brock both put up around eight points per contest.
Saint Francis has just one player that has started all 14 games and averages more than 30 minutes per game (Williams) and only two players that see more than 20 mins per game (Hayward, Brock). A team that loves to get up and down, the Red Flash also have 11 players that have appeared in at least 13 games and averaged over 11 minutes per contest.
