WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J. (Interstat) — Two teams riding winning streaks will meet Thursday when the Monmouth Hawks host the Yale Bulldogs in a nonconference women’s basketball game at the Multipurpose Activity Center.

The Bulldogs (4-7) have won three straight, including a 63-49 road victory over New Haven on Monday. The Hawks (4-4) have won two consecutive games, most recently a 66-38 rout at Saint Peter’s on Sunday.

Yale’s surge has been fueled by guard Ciniya Moore, who is averaging 18.3 points over the last three contests. She scored a season-high 23 points in 39 minutes against New Haven. For the season, Moore leads the Bulldogs in scoring.

Monmouth counters with forward Divine Dibula, who is coming off a 21-point, 9-rebound performance in a win over NJIT on Dec. 3. She followed that with 14 points and two blocks against Saint Peter’s. Dibula has been a consistent interior presence for the Hawks.

Yale’s recent wins over Bryant, Rider and New Haven have provided a turnaround after a 1-7 start that included losses to Power Five opponent Penn State and Big East foe Providence. Monmouth’s season has been marked by volatility, featuring a 104-46 loss at Kentucky but also a solid overtime road win at Marist.

This game represents a final nonconference tune-up for both squads before holiday breaks. Yale will visit High Point on Saturday, while Monmouth travels to Brown on Sunday.

The Bulldogs will look to extend their streak by containing Dibula and exploiting a Hawks defense that allowed 63 points per game in its four losses. Monmouth aims to protect its home floor and use its balanced attack, which saw three players record at least three assists in the Saint Peter’s win, to disrupt Yale’s momentum.

Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST.
