SERIES HISTORY: Since Saint Louis joined the A-10 for the 2005-2006 season, the Billikens have held a 5-2 series advantage over the Rams.

SCOUTING SAINT LOUIS: For the second time in as many games, the Rams will take on a squad under the direction of a first year head coach with a record in the area of .500 in the Atlantic 10. But Lisa Stone, St. Louis' coach, has a proven history of success with over 500 wins 27 seasons of patrolling the sideline. On the season, St. Louis features just one player averaging in double figures, as Lorreal Jones leads the Billikens with 11.1 points per contest. Jones also leads St. Louis on the boards, pulling down 8.4 rebounds per outing.
Jacy Bradley, despite being the Billikens' second leading scorer with 9.9 points per contest, best serves the St. Louis offense as a distributor, dishing out nearly 4.8 assists per game, tied for fourth in the Atlantic 10 with Danni Jackson of George Washington. On Wednesday, Fordham held Jackson to just two assists. Listen to all the actions on WFUVsports.org, with DJ Sixsmith and Mike Watts bringing you all the action from the Chaifetz Arena. |

There were a myriad of storylines dripping out of the Rose Hill Gym on Sunday, as Fordham faced off and ultimately defeated Saint Louis, 64-61, in overtime, largely on the heels of a clutch layup from Becky Peters, who was honored before the game in a Senior Day ceremony. Peters, the lone senior on the team, drove through traffic and gave Fordham the lead with a layup with 20 seconds left in overtime and then made her free throws down the stretch to help the Rams secure the win.
