HACKENSACK, N.J. – The Knights (12-4, 4-0) are back in action tomorrow evening at 5 p.m. as they take on St. Francis Brooklyn (4-12, 3-1). Thursday's matchup will be only the second time in NEC history that a regular season women's basketball game will be on ESPNU or a higher channel. The first of such matchups came last season when FDU defeated Mount St. Mary's on ESPNU 64-56. The Knights are looking to start NEC play with a 5-0 record and extend their winning streak to six games.
 

Last Time Out

FDU hosted Stonehill on Monday afternoon in a matchup that was never close. The Burgundy and Blue won 70-36. The victory was backed by a strong performance from junior, Chloe Wilson. Wilson posted her third double-double of the season with 21 points on 6-of-14 shooting and 10 rebounds. The scoring behind Wilson was a balanced attack with Celia Carbonell and Ella Fajardo posting nine points apiece and Sierra DeAngelo and Dahomée Forgues netting seven points each. The blueprint for the Knights season has been to play suffocating defense and to hit timely threes. Against the SkyHawks the Knights forced 16 turnovers and drilled eight threes on 35% shooting from deep.
