PITTSFORD, N.Y. – The St. John Fisher University women's basketball team, winners of 14 straight games, travel to Keuka on Tuesday, looking to stay unbeaten in Empire 8 play. Gametime is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.
The Cardinals, coming off two straight conference wins at home this weekend, currently sit atop at the Empire 8 with a perfect 10-0 conference record to go with an overall mark of 17-2.
Here's what you need to know:
Last Time Out
Fisher opened last weekend by beating Sage 67-38 on Friday. They followed that up with an 87-39 win over Hartwick on Saturday. Most notably, both senior guard
Claire Kruszka and junior guard
Sidney Tomasso each scored their 1000th career points during the Sage game. The pair are the 24th and 25th in program history to meet the mark.
Know Your Foe
The Cardinals have been historically dominant against the Wolves, holding an all-time record of 35-2. Fisher hasn't lost to Keuka since the 1990-91 season, when both of the program's defeats occurred. Earlier this season, the Cardinals hosted Keuka at Manning & Napier and defeated them 87-41 behind 19 points from Tomasso.
Keuka enters Tuesday's game with a 1-15 record, including an 0-8 mark in the Empire 8.
Get On Board(s)
Freshman forward
Joleen Lusk had a career-high 18 rebounds against Sage on Friday. The likely Empire 8 Rookie of the Year contender leads the conference with a per-game average of 9.7, a full rebound over the second-place athlete, Elmira's Nevaeh Winston.
Player to Watch
Kruszka notched a double-double against Keuka when they played at Fisher earlier this season, scoring 10 points with 11 rebounds. Those 11 rebounds were the most she's had all season. She'll likely be a key contributor again on Tuesday.
