Scouting Siena
The Saints enter Saturday's contest with a 1-3 conference record in the MAAC and 3-7 overall. Siena is familiar with Saint Francis this season as both teams participated at the CCSU Invite in the beginning of December. Siena finished fourth out of the five teams while SFU finished second at the CCSU invitational. Siena is led by Reilly King in the freestyle category as she holds the current top times this season at Siena in the 500, 1000, and 1650-yard freestyles. Also, Siena is guided in the backstroke department by senior Isabel Harms who holds season highs for the Saints in the 50, 100, and 200-yard backstrokes.
