Monmouth Women: The Monmouth University women's basketball (5-4, 1-0 NEC) team looks to rebound off a 75-67 overtime loss to Drexel last Saturday. The Hawks, who have alternated wins and losses in their last six games, have never beaten American, going 0-4 all-time. In their last time out, the Hawks held a nine-point first half lead before bowing to Drexel in overtime in Philadelphia last week. Brianne Edwards, who scored a career-high 18 points in the game, hit a pair of free throws with 23 seconds left to send the game into the extra session, where MU was outscored 17-9. The Hawks have one more non-conference game before playing six NEC games, and then finish their non-conference ledger against NJIT. Monmouth is lead in scoring and rebounding by Jennifer Bender, who is averaging 11.4 points and 6.3 boards per game. Monmouth leads the NEC in rebounds per game with 40.4, even though no Hawk averages more than Bender's 6.3 per contest.
American: The Eagles (5-7) come into tonight’s game fresh off a 73-56 defeat of the Northeast Conference’s Wagner Seahawks (1-9, 0-2 NEC) on Friday night. Liz Hayes paced four Eagles in double figures with her game-high 15 points, and Sahar Nusseibeh added a double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds. American was down 31-30 at the half, but scored 43 points after intermission to run away with the victory. The contest marked the first time all season in which four Eagles scored in double figures.

Who Cares?
Well Mike, I guess you don't. Do you think maybe MU should drop the sport?
I Care...Go MU Womens hoops!
Is WMCX doing this game? I wont be able to make it to Boylan, but I want to hear the roar of the crowd over the airwaves!
Who cares about NEC basketball, men's or women's, the RPIs for that conference must be near the absolute bottom of the country.
Lets talk about the real season at MU, the softball season.
Carol Sullivan and the girls are back with a vengeance, I've seen them working out in the offseason outside, looks like they are really ready to jump into the box and bang them out of the park!
Yes.. the game is on WMCX..After this, if you're going to be sarcastic, you'll have to find another forum.
Hawks (softball), led by Nichole Alvarez, Lee Simonetti, and Heather "Home Run" Gordon have a good hitting team. Will need pitchers to ratchet it up.
