STORYLINES
Army comes into the week after back-to-back comeback victories over Yale (Dec. 3) and UAlbany (Dec. 5). Senior Jean Parker scored a team-best 20 points versus UAlbany and finished 6-of-6 from three-point range to mark the most in a single game without a miss by an Army player.
THE ARMY-ST. FRANCIS BROOKLYN SERIES
Army leads St. Francis Brooklyn, 11-2, in an all-time series dating back to 1990-91. The Black Knights won the first 10 games in the rivalry before the Terriers claimed victories in 2012-13 and 2013-14. Army won last year's meeting with a 61-55 victory at West Point.
ARMY WEST POINT (6-1) NOTES
• Army trailed UAlbany, 34-22, early in the second half before outscoring the Great Danes, 43-28, over the game's final 17:34 and earning a 65-62 win.
• Three other players joined Parker in double figures, including senior Kelsey Minato (16 pts), sophomore Janae McNeal (10 pts) and freshman Madison Hovren (10 pts).
• The Black Knights' four double-digit scorers were the most in a single game since Minato, senior Brianna Johnson, Jen Hazlett (USMA '14) and Olivia Schretzman (USMA '15) all finished with at least 10 points in Army's Patriot League semifinal victory over American on March 10, 2014.
• Army's 12-point comeback win over UAlbany was its largest since coming back from 14 points down against St. Francis Brooklyn on Dec. 8, 2014.
ST. FRANCIS BROOKLYN (1-5) NOTES
• St. Francis Brooklyn has fallen in its last two games after picking up its lone win of the season at Vermont on Nov. 27.
• The Terriers are coming off a 77-59 setback at Lafayette on Dec. 4.
• Senior Leah Fechko recorded a double-double, with 11 points and 10 rebounds, while also posting six steals and five assists.
• Fechko paces St. Francis Brooklyn in a majority of statistical categories, including scoring (12.3 ppg), rebounding (6.8 rpg), assists (3.7 apg) and steals (3.5 spg).
MINATO EARNS PATRIOT LEAGUE RECOGNITION
Minato drew Patriot League Player of the Week honors on Dec. 7 after averaging 21.5 ppg and setting Army's career scoring record last week. The league mention marked her second of the season and the 13th of her career.
UP NEXT
Army plays its final road nonconference game on Friday, Dec. 11, when the Black Knights make the trip to Newark, N.J., for their first-ever matchup against NJIT. Friday's contest is set for a 7 p.m. start.
