LORETTO, Pa. (Dec. 11, 2014) – On Saturday afternoon, history will be made as Saint Francis U will host Bowling Green in the first ever NCAA Division I women's basketball game held at the Cambria County War Memorial Arena in Johnstown.
 
The Red Flash women continue the 'home series' that the men's team started last season on Veteran's Day when it hosted Navy.
 
Bowling Green comes to Johnstown sporting a 4-2 record so far in 2014-15 and the program made it four rounds through the WNIT Tournament last March.
 
Saint Francis made the short trip to Ohio last season to face the Falcons in late December and showed signs of brilliance in the second half nearly making a comeback, but fell on the road.
 
Alexa Hayward (Beaver Falls, Pa./Blackhawk) is leading the NCAA in scoring at 27.7 points per game, while ranking second in the nation in three-point field goals made per game at 4.17. Hayward's next closest competitor in scoring average is Kelsey Plum of Washington at 26.3 ppg.
 
SFU does not return to Loretto until Jan. 3 for Northeast Conference play. It will close out its final four non-conference tilts on the road starting with Duquesne on Dec. 18 at 7 p.m.
