LORETTO, PA- The Red Flash welcome in the LIU Brooklyn Blackbirds for Senior Day as SFU will honor their three seniors prior to the 4 p.m. tip-off. 

Saturday's game will also be the annual "Think Pink" game where Saint Francis will be wearing pink jerseys that will be auctioned off after the game. 

ABOUT THE FLASH
Saint Francis will honor seniors Aisha Brock (Jacksonville, Fla./Potter's House Christian Academy), Brooklyn Taylor (Greenville, Pa./Greenville) and Brielle Ward (Baltimore, Md./Western (Hampton U)) in a pre-game ceremony.The Flash are riding a three-game winning streak into the contest after sweeping Mount Saint Mary's and Wagner on the road last weekend. In both instances, Saint Francis saw themselves down at the half and used big second halves to get the victories. It was the first two times this season the Flash have won when trailing after 20 minutes. Maya Wynn (Reisterstown, Md./McDonogh) was the ESPN3 Player of the Game on Saturday after connecting on five threes and scoring a career-high 21 points to go with a career-high nine rebounds. Saint Francis rebounded the ball well all weekend, getting 25 second-chance points on Saturday and pulling down a season-high 54 rebounds in the win over Wagner on Monday. Twelve of those boards came from Courtney Zezza (Plum, Pa./Plum) who had her first career double-double setting high marks in points (16), rebounds (12) and blocks (4) in the 87-73 win over Wagner. Zezza was part of a very balanced offensive effort that saw four players in double figures led by Jessica Kovatch (Phillipsburg, N.J./Phillipsburg)'s 24 points as she earned the Northeast Conference Rookie of the Week for the 12th time this season.
