ABOUT THE RED FLASH
Saint Francis saw their three-game winning streak snapped at the hands of the Duquesne Dukes on Thursday, falling 87-68. The Flash responded nicely after a hot start from the Dukes, and outscored them in the second half.
 
Caitlyn Kroll (Bridgeport, Ohio/Bridgeport) continued her impressive start to her college career with 18 points to lead the Red Flash. In her return to the Palumbo Center, former Duke and current Red Flash forward Kyasia Duling (Zanesville, Ohio/New Albany (Duquesne)) had nine points and a game-high 15 rebounds. She leads the Red Flash with over eight boards per game this season.
 
The Red Flash swatted away nine shots on Thursday, upping their season average to nearly six blocks per game. It could possibly be a block party on Saturday as William and Mary lead the NCAA with over nine blocks per game as a team. Also watch out for a transition game that features two teams that average over 10 steals per game. 

Saturday's game will also feature a sibling rivalry. Cydney Smith (Port Tobacco, Md./St. Mary's Ryken) will welcome in sister Chandler, who suits up for William and Mary. 
 
ABOUT THE TRIBE
 
 The Tribe come into the game at 6-1 overall and winners of their last four. This will be the Tribe's first appearance in DeGol Arena since December 30, 1997 as part of the Red Flash Classic and resulted in a 77-48 Tribe win. They were picked to place third in the Colonial Athletic Conference. Abby Rendle leads the Tribe and the NCAA in blocked shots, at over five per game. She had seven in the Tribe's last win at Richmond.
 
Overall, William and Mary are a balanced team with four players averaging double figures. This will be a contrast of styles as the Tribe like to slow the game down, averaging just 58 shots per game, compared to the Red Flash's 72.
 
Red Flash fans will be familiar with William and Mary's head coach Ed Swanson, who enters his fifth season in Williamsburg after a long, 23-year stay at his alma mater, Sacred Heart.
