NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. (Interstat) — Two teams looking to build momentum after challenging starts will meet Saturday when the Northeastern Huskies visit the Merrimack Warriors in a non-conference women’s basketball matchup.

Both teams enter the contest at the Volpe Athletic Center with identical 1-2 records. Northeastern is coming off a narrow 61-57 home loss to Boston University on Tuesday. The Huskies were led by Yirsy Quéliz, who scored 16 points and added four rebounds and four assists. Camryn Collins added 15 points and Taylor Holohan contributed 11 points and five rebounds in the defeat.

Merrimack also seeks to rebound after a 82-69 road loss to High Point on Wednesday. Lydia Melashenko poured in 21 points for the Warriors, while Mia Fiore and Madison Roman each scored in double figures and pulled down eight rebounds apiece.

The Huskies’ season has been a tale of two performances, sandwiching a 75-64 road win at Yale between a 15-point loss to Long Island and the recent four-point defeat to BU. Merrimack’s lone victory was a dominant 97-46 home win over UMass Boston, but the Warriors have since suffered lopsided losses to Rhode Island and High Point.

Saturday’s game offers both squads an opportunity to get back to .500 before continuing their respective non-conference schedules.
