HUNTINGDON, Pa. – The Juniata College women's basketball is deep in its Landmark Conference season. With six games left in the regular season, Juniata (9-10, 2-6 Landmark) hosts Catholic University of America on Wednesday, Feb. 5 at 7 p.m. This is the 18th meeting of the two teams. Juniata leads the all-time series 10-7.
The Eagles are coming off a pair of tough losses and are looking for a win to put them back in the middle of the conference pack. Junior Kelsey Livoti (Altoona, Pa./Bishop Guilfoyle) led the team in points last week, while senior Kate McDonald (Pennsylvania Furnace, Pa./State College Area) led in rebounds and steals.
Juniata will need them, along with senior Jordan Hileman (Williamsburg, Pa./Williamsburg), to help put the brakes on Catholic's offensive production. The Cardinals are averaging over 74 points per game and have three student-athletes averaging double-digit points, including senior Emily Grabiak who leads the team in points, steals, assists, rebounds and minutes. Catholic has won 12 of its last 13 games and enters on a two-game win streak.
