WEST POINT, N.Y. (Interstat) — The Army women’s basketball team looks to rebound from a rare setback and solidify its Patriot League standing when it hosts Lafayette on Saturday at Christl Arena.

The Black Knights (21-6 overall), among the conference leaders, are coming off a 54-51 home loss to rival Navy on Feb. 21 that snapped a five-game winning streak. Army had previously dominated its league schedule, with its only other conference loss since Jan. 1 coming at Holy Cross on Jan. 31.

Army, which defeated Lafayette 62-50 on the road just three weeks ago on Feb. 7, will lean on guard Camryn Tade. The standout is averaging 13.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists in conference play. In the first meeting against the Leopards, Tade finished with 15 points and two assists.

Lafayette (10-17) arrives with momentum after a 56-41 road victory at American on Feb. 21, a game in which star forward Teresa Kiewiet erupted for a career-high 26 points and eight rebounds. Kiewiet, who was held to just two points in 11 minutes in the loss to Army earlier this month, has been on a tear, averaging 17.4 points over her last seven contests.

The Leopards have struggled for consistency, however, alternating wins and losses over their past six games. Containing Tade and improving on their 39.6% shooting performance from the first matchup will be key challenges.

Army’s defense, which allows a Patriot League-best 55.2 points per game in conference play, will aim to stifle Kiewiet and secure a season sweep. A win would bolster the Black Knights’ position ahead of the conference tournament, while Lafayette seeks to build on its latest upset and play spoiler on the road.

Tipoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. EST.
