LAST TIME OUT  
The Knights last saw the court on Wednesday against Bucknell. The Bison were able to fight off a persistent FDU team throughout the whole game as there were 16 lead changes over the 40-minute duration. This resulted in a 49-44 victory for Bucknell. The Knights shot 100% from the free-throw line and totaled 18 points in the paint. FDU also hit the glass hard as they grabbed 15 offensive rebounds, but only cashed these in for nine second chance points. Abby Conklin was a force from downtown where she went 4-for-6 from deep. Lilly Parke made contributions to both sides of the ball as she collected four offensive rebounds and ten boards in total. Parke is pulling down six rebounds per game.

CONKLIN CATCHING FIRE
Senior guard Abby Conklin is making waves this year as she sank four three-pointers in each of her last two games. Conklin went 29-for-82 (35.4%) from beyond the arc in her 2022-23 campaign. She looks to improve on those numbers this season as she is already shooting 47.1% (8-17) from downtown. In 2022-23 Conklin only scored double digits twice in 32 appearances, she has already matched that number on game three of the 2023-24 season, as she is averaging ten points per contest. 

BEHIND ENEMY LINES  
This game marks the third home game for the Georgetown Hoyas. After having won their first two matchups of the year against Maryland Eastern Shore and Temple, they fell to Brown in a tight contest by a score of 45-43. The Hoyas are averaging 57.3 points per game, but only conceding 46.7 points defensively. They have been a force out of the gate as they have outscored opponents 96-72 in the first half of games. Opponents have been able to tighten the margin after the halftime breaks though, as Georgetown has only outscored their opponents 74-68 in the second halves. 

SCOUT'S CORNER  
The Knights will be keyed in on Georgetown's Kelsey Ransom. Ransom has been in double-figures in all three games this season and recorded a double-double in the season opener, finishing with 19 points and collected 10 rebounds. The senior is a significant threat does most of her work on the interior as 36 of her 47 points have come by way of two-point field goals. FDU will hold Graceann Bennett and Brianna Scott off the glass, who have both collected 23 rebounds this season.
