Last Time Out
After a 13-point win over Saint Francis U on Saturday afternoon, the Knights fell by 13 to reigning NEC champion Robert Morris, despite Kelsey Cruz (Chester, Va./Lloyd C. Bird)'s 19 points on 8-of-14 shooting. The game was Cruz's fifth straight in which she has converted at least half of her double-digit shot attempts and ninth overall on the season. Senior point guard Amanda Andrades (Virginia Beach, Va./Princess Anne) added 13 points, four rebounds, and seven assists in 33 minutes, while Erika Livermore (Nazareth, Pa./Nazareth Area) struggled with her shot and finished with just 11 points and seven rebounds. The Knights battled in the second half and outscored their hosts, 39-36, with a couple underclassmen impressing – Kiana Brown (Richmond, Va./Hermitage)'s nine points and team-high three steals and freshman Altiliyah Butler (Newark, N.J./Shabazz)'s career-high nine rebounds and four points off the bench.
