Last Time Out
The Knights played well defensively but could not get shots to fall down the stretch against Binghamton, falling 60-48 on Saturday, November 23, in the Rothman Center.
 
The Knights (0-5) held the Bearkats (6-0) to 16 points below their season average and limited the nation's leading scorer, Kai Moon, to just seven points through the first 17 minutes of play. After halftime, FDU went on a 7-0 run in the third quarter capped by an Elise Graham layup that cut the deficit down to two, 34-32. Binghamton, however, extended the lead back to 10 early in the fourth quarter and pulled away as the quarter progressed.

Sophomore Rachael Niles led the Knights with 13 points, making three three-pointers and assisting on three baskets as well. Freshman Maria Roters finished with 10 points for her second straight game in double figures, and freshman Sierra DeAngelo made both of her field goals and 5-of-6 free throws to finish with nine points. Senior Courtney Blankenship led FDU with six rebounds to go with five points.

Coach Szumilo's Thoughts
"They're a good team both defensively and offensively," head coach Angelika Szumilo said. "We were playing without our leading scorer today, and I thought Binghamton did a very good job of taking Lindsey [Mack], our second leading scorer, away by not letting her get many clean looks. We held them to 60, so that was a positive, and I thought we did a pretty good job defensively. We just need to learn to trust each other on both ends. They're working so hard, and I want that first win for them because they're working really hard and we can see the improvement. We're getting there, but it's really going to be about paying attention to the details and making sure we execute them on both ends on a regular basis."  

What's Next
The Knights go on the road the following Saturday, December 7, to Washington, D.C., to take on the Howard Bison at 2 p.m.
