Saint Peter`s at Lafayette

EASTON, Pa. (Interstat) — Two teams seeking their first win of the young season will meet Thursday when the Saint Peter’s Peacocks visit the Lafayette Leopards in a non-conference women’s basketball game.

The matchup at Kirby Sports Center pits a pair of winless squads. Saint Peter’s enters at 0-2, while Lafayette is 0-3.

The Peacocks are coming off a 70-56 loss at Fordham on Monday. Carys Roy led the way with 19 points and five rebounds, while De’Naya Rippey recorded a double-double with 14 points and 13 rebounds.

The Leopards are looking to bounce back from a narrow 82-79 overtime defeat to Le Moyne on Sunday. Haylie Adamski scored 22 points in the loss, and Talia Zurinskas added 20 points and three assists.

Both teams have struggled offensively early in the season. Saint Peter’s was held to 39 points in its season-opening loss to Seton Hall, while Lafayette was limited to 38 points in a loss to Villanova.

Thursday’s game represents one of the more winnable opportunities on either schedule before conference play begins in earnest.
