Scouting the Hornets

Most recently, the Hornets are coming off a 77-50 loss to the Saint Peter's Peacocks, but the Hornets were paced by a big day from Joy Watkins, whose 17 points and four-for-six shooting from three led the way for her team. Watkins is one of three Hornets who are averaging 32.7 minutes per game. Siann Sanchez-Oliver is the lone woman averaging more points than Watkins, as she averages 10.2 compared to Watkins's ten. Zoe Holmes leads the team in rebounding with eight to go along with eight points per game, while Alexis Moragne sees the most action per game with 35.2 minutes per game along with eight points and 5.2 rebounds per game.
Scouting the Knights
The Knights have won three of their last four games and are on a two-game home winning streak. The most recent game for the Knights resulted in a 63-40 blowout win over Binghamton, marking the Knights second win of at least 20 points this season. Sierra DeAngelo, who earned an NEC Prime Performer nod on 12/6, led the way for FDU with 16 points and nine rebounds in the game, and Celia Carbonell chipped in ten points off the bench along with four rebounds. It has been a balanced attack from the Knights as eight players are currently averaging at least five points per game. Leading the way has been Chloe Wilson, whose 12 point per game average leads all Knights. Wilson is also averaging 1.9 steals per game, which is a team-high, and earned an NEC Prime Performer accolade for her work done in the NJIT and Manhattan games in the week of 11/29.
