Series History: It will be just the sixth meeting all-time between the Tigers and Phoenix on Sunday. Elon holds a 4-1 edge in the match-up after grabbing an 83-55 win when the two squads meet in North Carolina in January. Raven Bankston led the Tigers with 17 points in that game while Shay Burnett had 18 points for the Phoenix. Towson's win in the series came at home last year in January.

Sianni Steps Up: The Tigers got a huge performance from sophomore guard Sianni Martin in Friday's win over Hofstra. Martin tallied a game-high 21 points, 12 of which came in the fourth quarter as the Tigers held off a late run by the Pride. The Philadelphia, Pennsylvania native added a career-high nine rebounds and tied her career-high with six assists.

Clearing the Glass: Towson dominated the battle on the boards Friday night at Hofstra. Towson grabbed 47 rebounds to the Pride's 34 boards. It marked the third straight game and fourth time in the last five games that the Tigers won the rebounding battle. Nine Tigers recorded at least one rebound in the game. Junior forward Mary Cuevas posted a game-high 13 rebounds while sophomore guard Sianni Martin had nine boards.

Going Deep: Towson drained six three-pointers in Friday's win at Hofstra. It was the 10th time this season the Tigers have hit five or more three-pointers in a game. Sophomore guard Sianni Martin, senior guard Raven Bankston and freshman guard Nukiya Mayo all hit two triples in the game. Martin now leads the team with 42 three-pointers this season.

I'll Take That: Towson posted 10 steals and scored 20 points off 18 Hofstra turnovers on Friday night. It was the 16th time this season the Tigers have recorded double-digit steals this season. Senior guard Raven Bankston led the way with three steals while three other Tigers had two steals each. It was also the ninth time this season the Tigers have scored 20 or more points off opponents' turnovers.
