The Good Gals travel up to UD to open the CAA schedule against a Sick Chickens squad who is 5-7 on the season and coming off a home win over St. Joe's.
JMU holds a 24-13 all-time series lead spurred mainly by the current 12-game winning streak the Dukes have enjoyed. The Dukes have swept the season series each of the past 5 seasons and have a couple of CAAT wins over UD as well since 2014.
UD only has 1 player averaging scoring in double digits and that is 5'7" Jr. Guard, Abby Gonzales (barely, at 10.6 ppg). She is the only team member who has started each of their 12 games to date.
They have had a strange schedule so far. They played their first 8 games away from home before 4 straight at home. Starting with JMU, they actually play their first 3 CAA games at home as well for a long 7-game home stand that will last over a month.
No question this is a game the Dukes should win. It won't be easy though. JMU got out of Newark with a 3-pt victory a season ago. UD made it to the semifinals of the CAAT last year after going 11-7 in the CAA. They lost to Drexel by 5 in the semi's.
If the Good Gals look ahead to Sunday's big game at Drexel, UD could make them pay.
This game is scheduled to be streamed live via UD's YouTube channel...
