Quinnipiac at Yale

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (Interstat) — Two teams seeking their first winning streak of the young season will meet Tuesday when the Quinnipiac Bobcats face the Yale Bulldogs in a women’s non-conference basketball game at Payne Whitney Gymnasium.

Both teams enter the contest on losing skids. Quinnipiac (1-2) fell 53-51 to Saint John’s in its last outing on Nov. 11. Ella O’Donnell led the Bobcats with 16 points and seven rebounds in the narrow defeat.

Yale (0-3) is still searching for its first win after an 88-60 loss at Saint John’s on Friday. Kiley Capstraw paced the Bulldogs in that game with 11 points, eight rebounds and seven assists.

The Bobcats’ lone victory came in their season opener, a 65-55 win at Boston University on Nov. 3. Since then, they have dropped consecutive road games at Rutgers and against Saint John’s.

The Bulldogs have faced a tough early schedule, with all three losses coming at home. They fell to Northeastern and Hofstra before the setback against Saint John’s.

Quinnipiac will look to its top performers from the last game, O’Donnell and Jackie Grisdale, who scored 15 points, to generate offense. Yale will counter with a balanced attack led by Capstraw, Luisa Vydrova and Ke’iara Odume, who each scored in double figures in their most recent contest.

Tipoff is set for Tuesday night in New Haven.
