BRYANT BASKETBALL HOSTS PAIR OF NATIONALLY-RANKED TEAMS SATURDAYBulldogs Host Stonehill College for Men's and Women's Doubleheader at the Chace Athletic Center
SMITHFIELD, RI – The Bryant men's and
women's basketball teams will return to action Saturday afternoon,
hosting nationally ranked Stonehill College for a Northeast-10
Conference doubleheader starting with the women's game at 1:30 pm.
That game will be followed with the men's contest at 3:30 p.m.
The Bryant women look to bounce back
from Thursday's 85-69 loss at rival Bentley College as the Bulldogs
host undefeated Stonehill College Saturday at 1:30 p.m. The
Bulldogs are led by senior La Salle graduate Shannon Perry who has
averaged a double-double in the fourt games she has been with the
program. She carries a 16.5 ppg average into Saturday's game while
teammate Joanna Skiba of Providence is next with 15.7 ppg.
Stonehill, ranked 17th nationally, knocked off 13th-ranked (and
previously undefeated) AIC Thursday night.
On the men's side, the Bulldogs are peaking at just
the right time once again as the Bryant takes a four-game win
streak into Saturday's contest with the Skyhawks. Stonehill,
the last team to defeat Bryant, 63-51 in Easton, MA back on Dec.
10, brings a No. 24 national ranking and 10-1 record into today's
game. Bryant is coming off a 77-63 win over Bentley Thursday
night as John Williams scored 20 points while Nick Pontes had
16. Since the loss to Stonehill, Bryant has rattled off wins
over Bloomfield (102-78), Holy Family (111-71), Assumption (94-88)
and Bentley.
