Players to Watch (CSI): The Dolphins are led in scoring by
Megan McEwan's 12.3 points per game making her the only Dolphin averaging double-figures. She also leads the team in both assists and steals as well, but is only shooting 32% from the field. Leading the team in field-goal percentage among players who have attempted at least 30 shots is
Deidre Foster with a 46.1% mark from the field. Right behind her is
Diana Todaro who has shot 41.9% and grabbed a team-leading 10.1 rebounds per game. Freshman
Jada Rogers is the team's second-leading scorer with 9.8 per game and
Kayla Schmitter is third with her 9 per game. Schmitter is also the only Dolphin shooting better than 35% from beyond the arc and has shit 38.7% of her attempts from long-range.
Players to Watch (BC): Chanel Jemmott leads the Bulldogs in both scoring and rebounding as she has averaged a double-double with 16.6 points and 10.1 rebounds. Her 21 blocks also lead the team by a considerable margin and she has connected on over 50% of her shots this season. Second in scoring is Taylor George who has averaged 14.1 points on an impressive 44.3% from the field all while dishing out 36 assists to lead the team. Ericka James is also up above the 44% mark shooting and is third in scoring with 11 per game. That trio accounts for the only three Bulldogs shooting above the 40% mark, but both James and Dasha Goodman have hit over 41% of their threes.
News & Notes: The Dolphins will be looking to get back in the win column against Brooklyn as they have lost each of the last two meetings with the Bulldogs. As CSI looks to avoid losing their third in a row to Brooklyn, the Bulldogs will be looking for their third win of the week having defeated Hunter on Monday and Lehman on Wednesday. The last meeting between the two teams came in the semifinals round of last year's CUNYAC tournament which Brooklyn won by a score of 70-52. Each team has lost two of their starters from that game, but that has not stopped Brooklyn from playing to a perfect 3-0 record in the CUNYAC, good for sole possession of first in the conference standings.
What's Next?: Today's game is the first of back-to-back at home for the Dolphins with a matchup against Lehman College coming up next on Wednesday at 5:30. The Bulldogs will also be back in action on Wednesday when they head back home to face Baruch College in their fourth CUNYAC game of the season.
