STARTING FIVE
    Lafayette has used 10 different starting lineups this season: guards Talia Zurinskas, Teresa Kiewiet, Sauda Ntaconayigize and Haylie Adamski and forward Maddison Krug have started the most games (7) together this campaign. Krug has seen an increased role due to a recent Chudy injury and the North Kingstown, R.I. native will now be relied on heavily as conference play continues. Ntaconayigize has also recently picked up an injury, leaving junior guard Rosie Scognamiglio with her workload.

SCOUTING LOYOLA
    The Greyhounds concluded their non-conference schedule with a 4-7 record and collected a 49-40 win last time out vs. Boston U. (Feb. 7). Loyola posted a 3-15 record in PL play last season and a 6-6 mark outside of the conference. 
    Wednesday marks the 33rd meeting between the Leopards and Greyhounds in their respective histories. Lafayette holds a 14-7 record against Loyola since head coach Kia Damon-Olson has been at the helm. Wednesday's matchup is the second meeting of the season between both squads. 
    Looking at the Greyhounds' last matchup with the Leopards, Lex Therien and Amandine Amorich were the leaders on offense for Loyola.  Therien finished the outing with a team-high 20 points and nine rebounds on 7-13 shooting from the floor.  Amorich logged 33 minutes for the Greyhounds, scoring 10 points on 3-7 shooting and she dished out two dimes and grabbed two steals. Sydney Bass and Kailey Kalet contributed valuable minutes against Lafayette as well. Bass scored eight points on 3-8 shooting from the field, while tacking on four rebounds, a block and a steal. Kalet added five points, two rebounds and as many assists. Therien currently ranks third in the Patriot League in rebounding (9.7 rpg), second in scoring (16.1 ppg) and is shooting a conference-best 53.7 percent from the floor through 23 games. Her seven rebounds against Boston U. broke the Patriot League record as she now sits on 1,204 career boards.
