HACKENSACK, N.J. – The Fairleigh Dickinson women's basketball team (1-1) looks to rebound from a midweek loss to NJIT when it hosts Bucknell (1-1) on Saturday, Nov. 22 with a 2 p.m. tipoff from Stratis Arena. NEC Front Row will carry live video coverage.
 
Last Time Out
The Knights suffered a hard-fought home loss on Wednesday to NJIT, 68-64, with a second-half rally falling just short. The team was plagued by poor shooting from the field and led by Kelsey Cruz (Chester, Va./Lloyd C. Bird) and Amanda Andrades (Virginia Beach, Va./Princess Anne) with 13 points each on a combined 7-of-26 shooting. Redshirt junior center Erika Livermore (Nazareth, Pa./Nazareth Area) was hampered by foul trouble in the middle of the contest and finished with just 12 points and six rebounds in 30 minutes after posting a big double-double in the season opener. FDU's team defense is much improved, however, and its 16 assists, led by a career-high seven from Andrades, is the most since 2012.
