Saint Francis looks to even its Northeast Conference record on Saturday night when it visits Fairleigh Dickinson to wrap up a two-game Garden State road swing. With its visit to Stratis Arena in the Rothman Center, the Red Flash returns to the scene of its only road victory a season ago – SFU downed the Knights, 69-63, on Jan. 21, 2012.

Like Saint Francis, Fairleigh Dickinson began NEC play on a winning note before dropping its two most recent contests.  The Knights opened its conference segment with a 72-65 win at Mount St. Mary's but has since dropped games at Wagner (68-55) and vs. Robert Morris (88-54).

Three Knights players average double-digit scoring totals entering Saturday's tilt.  Kinu Rochford leads the way tossing in 17 ppg, followed by Melquan Bolding (15) and Lonnie Robinson (12).  Rochford also leads FDU on the boards, pulling down 10 rebounds per contest.

The Red Flash returns to action on Thursday when it hosts Quinnipiac for a 7 p.m. game.
