RICHMOND, Va. (Interstat) — Two teams seeking to halt lengthy slides will meet Tuesday when the VCU Rams host the American Eagles in a nonconference women’s basketball game at Siegel Center.

American (1-8) enters on an eight-game losing streak following a 70-44 road loss to George Washington on Sunday. The Eagles’ lone win came against Delaware State on Nov. 8. VCU (3-7) has dropped five straight, most recently an 88-63 defeat at Temple on Saturday.

The matchup features a pair of guards capable of carrying their offenses. American will look to Anna Rescifina, who is coming off a 13-point, five-rebound performance in a loss to William & Mary on Dec. 7. She has averaged 32 minutes over her last six games.

VCU counters with Katarina Knezevic, who scored a season-high 21 points in the loss to Temple. She has tallied 20 or more points in two of her last four appearances, including 20 in a road game at Colorado on Nov. 24.

Both teams have struggled to find consistency. American has not scored more than 61 points during its losing streak, while VCU has allowed 80 or more points in three of its last five games.

The game is the final home nonconference contest for the Rams before they begin Atlantic 10 play in January. American continues a difficult road stretch before returning home to face Maryland-Baltimore County on Dec. 21.

Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST Tuesday.
