WEST POINT, N.Y. (Interstat) — The Army women’s basketball team will look to rebound from its recent postseason setback when it hosts NJIT in a nonconference matchup Sunday at Christl Arena.

The Black Knights (24-7), who boast one of the program’s best records in recent seasons, enter following a 61-55 loss to Holy Cross in the Patriot League tournament on March 12. That snapped a three-game winning streak. Army, led by guard Camryn Tade, has been strong defensively, holding opponents under 50 points in three of its last six victories.

NJIT (19-12) arrives riding momentum from a 68-65 road victory at Merrimack on Thursday. The Highlanders have won two of their last three, largely powered by the standout play of guard Alejandra Zuniga. She scored 20 points and dished five assists in the Merrimack win, following a 16-point performance against UMBC on March 5.

The game features a contrast in styles. Army’s methodical, defensive approach will be tested by an NJIT squad that has shown offensive explosiveness, scoring 75 points in a rout of Bryant on Feb. 28 but also being held to 37 in a loss to Vermont on Feb. 21.

For Army, Tade has been a consistent scorer, averaging 11.3 points over her last four games, including a 15-point effort against Lafayette on Feb. 28. Kya Smith, who had 11 points and five assists against Holy Cross, provides additional backcourt punch.

NJIT will rely on Zuniga’s all-around game, supported by Allison Cannon and Ava Locklear, who combined for 24 points in the most recent win.

Tipoff is scheduled for Sunday afternoon. Army holds the superior overall record, but NJIT has proven capable on the road, setting the stage for a compelling late-season clash.
