A Quick Look at Siena Heights
The Saints, under the leadership of Sue Syljebeck, are looking to stay in the hunt for the WHAC championship after suffering defeats to Davenport and Madonna, which have dropped them two-games behind the first-place Panthers and one game behind the second-place Crusaders in the WHAC standings. While the Saints are averaging 67.4 points per game this season, the Saints are holding opponents to an average of 56.5 points per game, which ranks second in the WHAC. The ever-dangerous Sierra Calhoun is averaging a fourth best in the conference 16.8 points per game.
 
Panthers vs. Saints
This will be the 24th meeting between Davenport and Siena Heights in women's basketball. The Panthers have won the last 18 contests over the Saints. The last SHU win was Jan. 10, 2007.
