Notes: Stonehill, ranked sixth in the most recent D2SIDA East Region media poll, seeks to get back on track after back to back defeats to open the New Year this afternoon... Freshman Maty Diabate made her first collegiate start and posted a season-high 22 points, but the Skyhawks fell to Le Moyne at Merkert Gym on Wednesday night... Senior Paige Marshall has posted 860 career points in 101 career games as she makes a run at the 1,000-point plateau. She is also on target to make her 100th career start this afternoon - looking to become just the fourth player in program history to reach the century mark in starts... The Skyhawks rank third in the NE-10 for scoring offense (68.0 ppg), but are 12th in scoring defense (63.0 ppf)... Head Coach Trisha Brown is four wins shy of 300 for her career (296-134) in 15 seasons.
