By The Numbers
34.1 – The X-Women only shoot 34.1% from the field and 24.2% from three point range, while also only shooting 57.1% from the free throw line. The Hawks will need to go to StFX and play good defense to keep these percentages down for the X-Women.
1 – The X-Women only have 1 player averaging more than 10 points per game this season, Kimberly Kingsbury. In contrast, the Sea-Hawks have 3 players averaging more than 10 points in Sydney Stewart, Haille Nickerson and Sydney Ezekiel. Memorial will have to limit Kingsbury's output if they are looking to have success this weekend.

Kimberly Kingsbury (StFX) – Kingsbury leads the X-Women in scoring this season, and they will look to lean on her scoring again to pick up their first win of the season against a talented Sea-Hawks team.
