Women's hoops is back in action today with four games on the slate, including two being televised in regional markets.
First, in Albany, the Great Danes will host the Wildcats in midday madness and sportsmanship day. Albany (15-9, 9-2 AE) sits comfortably in second place with a three-game cushion over third place, but New Hampshire (12-10, 5-5 AE) is in the middle of the pack and needs wins to try to separate itself over the last three weeks of the season. The Great Danes took the first meeting this season in Durham by a 60-46 score.
West of Albany off of I-88, Vermont (9-15, 3-8 AE) and Binghamton (11-13, 5-6 AE) will tangle in the Events Center at 7 p.m. The second game of the season series will be televised on Time Warner Cable Sports. The Catamounts defeated the Bearcats 69-48 in Burlington on Jan. 11 and will be looking for the sweep.
Also at 7 p.m., Boston U. (17-6, 10-0 AE) travels to Maine (6-17, 3-7 AE) looking to take the season series. The Terriers, who are ranked 22nd in this week's Mid-Major Top 25, have reeled off 10 straight wins, while the Black Bears have won two of their last four and three of their last six.
Stony Brook (4-20, 1-10 AE) will host America East foe UMBC tonight. The game will be televised by local Cablevision on Long Island and will have a 7 p.m. first tip. UMBC (12-12, 6-5 AE) won the last contest between these squads 73-47 on Jan. 12, while tonight's game will be a homecoming of sorts for preseason all-conference guard Michelle Kurowski. Long Island native Kurowski scored her 1,000th career point at Stony Brook last season and is averaging 14.5 ppg in league play this season. Meanwhile, the Seawolves begin a stretch of three home games over the final five games of the regular season and look to get over a 10-game slump.
