GAME NOTES

Opening Word:

The Saint Peter's University women's basketball team returns to the Garden State on Thursday night and will line up across from defending MAAC champion Quinnipiac. The opening tip is scheduled for 7 p.m.
The Peacocks recently returned from Western New York, where they finished their trip with an 86-68 win over Canisius on Jan. 25.
Redshirt juniors Kendrea Williams and Gabrielle Harris each broke the 20-point mark in the contest against the Golden Griffins, scoring 23 and 20 points, respectively. Sophomore Tyara McQueen set two new personal season-bests, scoring 11 points while hitting three triples.

Series with the Bobcats:

The Peacocks and the Bobcats will meet for only the 11th time on Thursday, having first played against each other on Jan. 16, 2014.
Saint Peter's will be looking for its first win in the series, as it currently holds an all-time record of 0-10 against Quinnipiac.
The two sides met early in conference play last season, when the Peacocks dropped a 90-45 decision in Hamden, Connecticut.

For the Record:

During their game against Canisius, Saint Peter's tied the MAAC single-game record for made three-point shots with 16, which was originally set by Marist on February 10, 2008.
Additionally, the performance tied the Koessler Athletic Center facility record, which was also set during the same game featuring Marist nearly 12 years ago.
Williams led the effort for the Peacocks, hitting 6-of-10 shots from beyond the arc against the Golden Griffins. It marked the third game this season in which Williams has scored at least six triples.
Both Harris and McQueen also hit the majority of their shots from deep, with Harris going 4-for-7 and McQueen hitting three of her four shots from three-point range.

Up Next:

The Peacocks will travel across the Hudson this weekend to face off against Manhattan for the second time this season on Saturday (Feb. 1) in a 2 p.m. matchup.
