LORETTO, PA- Saint Francis women's basketball welcomes in Mount Saint Mary's on Saturday for a 4 p.m. tip-off in a pivotal Northeast Conference game in their 10th annual  DelGrossos Think Pink Game.
 
ABOUT THINK PINK
This is the 10th annual Think Pink Game during Breast Cancer Month. The team will wear their traditional pink jerseys that will be auctioned off post-game. Also during the game, there will be raffles for prize baskets as well as the traditional "Push-up Showdown" at halftime. All proceeds will go to Strides Against Cancer. Breast Cancer survivors will get free admission to the game and everyone is encouraged to wear pink to the game on Saturday. For more information about Making Strides Against Breast Cancer and its local chapters, please visit their home page. 
 
ABOUT THE FLASH
SFU has won 9 of their last 10 including a sweep through Brooklyn last weekend to improve to 10-2 in the Northeast Conference where they stand alone in first place. Senior guard Katie Reese (Boonton Township, N.J./Mountain Lakes (Manhattan)) led the way, averaging 19 points four rebounds and three assists last weekend and shot 50 percent from three-point range. Reese earned her second NEC Player of the Week for her efforts. Courtney Zezza (Plum, Pa./Plum) was a stalwart on the defensive end, recording 12 blocks over the weekend. She leads the NEC and sits ninth in the nation with a 3.2 blocks per game average. As a team, SFU ranks second nationally with just over six blocks per game as a team.
 
ABOUT THE MOUNT
Mount St. Mary's comes into the contest winners of their last three and five of their last seven to improve to 6-6 in the NEC. They knocked off Central Connecticut and Sacred Heart in the three game winning streak, two of the top teams in the NEC. They have done it with balance with three different leading scorers and seven players averaging at least five points per game. Graduate transfer Mikal Johnson has been red-hot from three, connecting on at least three from long range in each of her last four games. The Mountaineers have also held their opponents to 60 points or less in all but one of their games since falling 97-88 to SFU at home last month. The one outlier was a 81-66 win over Central Connecticut.
