Game Notes
The A-10 women play 14 conference games as opposed to 16 for the men. The women play all opponents once and one team home and away.
The Dukes and Bonnies are designated rivals and play each other home and away. The teams split last year with the Dukes winning
@ the Bonnies by five and the Bonnies thumping the Dukes by 24 at AJP.
Both teams made the WNIT last season. The Dukes lost on the road at Northwestern. The Bonnies defeated RMU in the first round and lost in the second round at Northwestern. The teams are a combined 6-0 vs the MAC.
Three time All-Conference selection and 2009 A-10 First Team Dana Mitchell who was a thorn in the Dukes side for four years finally graduated.
The Dukes averages 42 rebounds a game compared to the Bonnies 34. The Bonnies are an excellent free throw shooting team averaging 80%
to the Dukes 67%.
Tough conference opener for both teams. The A-10 currently has 8 teams with RPIs of 64 or better. Dukes will need Wumi to rebound from
her first rough game vs. Pitt.
