STORYLINES
Sophomore Madison Hovren notched her second straight double-double on Monday against Bucknell and now has eight on the season. Her eight double-doubles are tied for eighth nationally and she is one of just three players across Division I to average at least 20.0 points per game and 10.0 rebounds per game, along with California's Kristine Anigwe (23.4 points per game, 10.2 rebounds per game) and Northwestern's Nia Coffey (20.6 points per game, 11.6 rebounds per game).
Army enters the Lafayette game ranking in the top 10 nationally in three categories. The Black Knights stand seventh in turnover margin (+8.46), eighth in turnovers forced (23.46) and ninth in steals per game (13.0).
