Syracuse, N.Y. – The Le Moyne College women's basketball team will have the opportunity to earn their third consecutive Northeast-10 Conference victory on Tuesday evening when they host the American International College Yellow Jackets for a 5:30 p.m. matchup on Ted Grant Court.

The Le Moyne College men's basketball team will take the floor following the women's game for an NE10 battle of their own against the Yellow Jackets.

The Le Moyne women's team will enter Tuesday's matchup with a 5-2 overall record, including a 3-1 resume against NE10 opponents.

The Dolphins won two conference tilts in a three-game span last week during a road trip to New Hampshire.

On November 30, Le Moyne took down the Franklin Pierce University Ravens in Rindge by a score of 77-57, and on December 2, the 'Phins claimed a 64-52 win over the Saint Anselm Hawks in Manchester.

Senior guard Lytoya Baker (Rochester, N.Y./Bishop Kearney) recorded a double-double during both Le Moyne victories, increasing her season total to six through seven games, which is currently the highest double-double tally among all players in the Northeast-10 Conference.

Redshirt-sophomore forward Haedyn Roberts (Holland Patent, N.Y./Holland Patent) also provided a double-double during the Saint Anselm victory, which was the fourth time already this season that both Baker and Roberts tallied a double-double during the same game.

Both players are currently in the top 10 in the conference in both scoring and rebounding.

Baker leads the entire NE10 with 12.1 rebounds per game, including an NE10-best 7.9 defensive rebounds per game, while also contributing 14.9 points per game to the Le Moyne cause, which is the ninth highest per-game scoring average in the conference.
Roberts is currently seventh in the NE10 in scoring at 15.9 points per game, and her 9.9 rebounds per game is the fourth best average in the conference.

Redshirt-freshman guard Sydney Lusher (Oneida, N.Y./Oneida) was named NE10 Rookie of the Week, according to the conference's Week 4 Women's Basketball Report, following two more stellar performances last week.

Lusher is playing a team-high 36.4 minutes per game through seven starts in 2022, which is the second highest minutes per game average in the NE10.

The rookie does a lot of everything for the 'Phins. She averages 12.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists (5^th best in NE10), 1.7 steals (T-9^th best in NE10), and 1.1 blocks (4^th best in NE10) per game as one of Le Moyne's lead guards.

Le Moyne's other rookie lead guard, Kaia Goode (Rochester, N.Y./Bishop Kearney) has also been filling up the stat sheet. In addition to her 11.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 33.6 minutes per game, Goode is providing a NE10-best 3.7 steals per game for the Dolphins during her first collegiate campaign.

The next highest per-game steals total in the conference is currently 2.8.

Through seven games so far in the 2022-23 campaign, American International collects 11.4 steals per game as a team, which is the highest average in the NE10. Le Moyne is currently second in the conference in steals per game with 10.3.

Five different Le Moyne players have recorded at least three steals during a single game this season, and four Dolphins are currently averaging at least 1.0 steals per game.

The American International College women's basketball team travels to Syracuse with a 3-4 overall record, including a 2-1 record against conference opponents.

The Yellow Jackets have also won two conference games in a row on the road entering Tuesday's contest.

AIC took down New Haven by a score of 71-62 on November 30, then they bested Saint Michael's 73-44 on December 3.

Senior guard Kayla Robinson leads the Yellow Jackets in scoring with 15.7 points per game to go along with 2.6 steals and 2.7 rebounds per contest.

Robinson has scored at least 14 points in each of AIC's last six games. Most recently Robinson poured in 26 points during AIC's win at Saint Michael's.

American International has been without their leading rebounder, junior forward Nora Young, during their two recent wins. Young averaged 11.0 points and 8.0 rebounds for the Yellow Jackets during their first five games before missing the last two.

Graduate forward Taylor Tomlinson is averaging 14.6 points and 4.1 rebounds per game for AIC.

Le Moyne has won each of the last four meetings between the two women's basketball programs, with the most recent AIC victory occurring on February 9, 2019, when the Yellow Jackets bested the Dolphins on Ted Grant Court.
