Last Time OutThe Knights lost a heartbreaker at home on Saturday afternoon, 69-68, for their second straight loss against Robert Morris, who they had also played five days earlier in Moon Township, Pa. Redshirt junior center
Erika Livermore (Nazareth, Pa./Nazareth Area) tallied a season-high 32 points on 13-of-21 shooting and had a clutch and-one play with just 87 seconds left in the game but it ended up being the last bucket of the game. Point guard
Amanda Andrades (Virginia Beach, Va./Princess Anne) scored all 10 of her points in the second half but her last second game winning attempt was tipped and fell short. FDU shot better than 50% as a team and has now hit the 45% mark as a team in three of its last four games.

What You Need To Know: FDU's 13-point victory over a week ago in Loretto sparked a three-game losing streak for the Red Flash, who have since lost two close games, against Bryant and at LIU Brooklyn, by a combined seven points. Senior Alexa Hayward, who the Knights held under 10 points for the first time all season, exploded for 30 and 29 in those two contests on a combined 21-for-49 shooting. She was joined by Aisha Brock, the junior guard, who was the only other Saint Francis player in either contest to score in double figures. Hayward remains the NEC's second-leading scorer, at 22.6 per contest, and the team averages just under 70 points per game, third-best in the league, but last in scoring defense, 85.0, and field goal percentage, .351 – more than 2% lower than LIU Brooklyn.
