Senior Day
• Loyola will honor its five seniors - Alex Barazotti, Bri Betz-White, Ashley Hunter, Abby Omdahl and Courtney Vannoy - and its one senior manager - Paige Rohde - prior to the start of Saturday's game.
• Throughout their careers, this class has beat all nine members of the Patriot League and it has advanced to the Championship Game of the Patriot League Tournament after recording a program-record 11 wins in 2015-16.
• The group also features a 1,000-point scorer and has combined for 1,778 points, 810 rebounds, 398 assists and 201 steals throughout their time in the green and grey.
• Academically, they've been just as impressive, as they've helped Loyola rank among the top-15 in the NCAA in cumulative grade-point averages each of the last three years.
Loyola Greyhounds (4-21, 3-11 Patriot League)
• Junior Stephanie Karcz, the 2017-18 Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year, leads the Greyhounds on defense and is among the top-five Patriot League leaders in rebounds, steals and assists. With 9.9 rebounds per game, Karcz ranks fourth in the League, while her 3.4 offense rebounds per game is third and her 6.4 defensive rebounds per game is fourth, and her 3.7 assists per game ranks third.
• Karcz also leads the League with 4.5 steals per game. With 103 this season, she ranks third in the NCAA and sits fourth on Loyola's single-season records. She is on pace to break the school record, needing just 16 to top Katie Sheahin's 118 from 2010-11.
• With 291 steals throughout her career, Karcz is also second to Sheahin's school record of 347 steals from 2009-13.
• Offensively, sophomore Isabella Therien leads the team with 14.3 points per game. Senior Bri Betz-White is second on the squad with 8.8 points per contest.
• With 8.3 points per game, freshman Taleah Dixon is the fourth-ranked rookie in scoring in the League. In League only games, she's leads the Greyhounds and ranks third in the conference with 9.8 points per game.
Colgate Raiders (9-15, 5-9 Patriot League)
• Rachel Thompson leads Colgate in scoring (12.5 ppg) and rebounding (7.5 rpg), and ranks sixth and eighth in the Patriot League in the two stat categories, respectively. She's also second in steals, grabbing 61 for a 2.5 per game average.
• Mylah Chandler has been efficient this season, connecting on 51.6 percent of shots taken, while she also heads Colgate's defensive charge, ranking fourth in the League in blocks, with 1.1 per game.
Series History
• Colgate used overtime to run away from the Greyhounds in the last meeting, earlier this season, and to earn a one-game advantage in the all-time series.
• Hannah Niles' jumper with six seconds to play in regulation gave the Greyhounds a 60-59 lead, but the Raiders converted one of two free throw attempts after that to force overtime. Colgate scored the first 13 points of the extra period to pull ahead 73-60, en route to the win.
• Loyola won the first meeting in the series before Colgate claimed three-straight in 2014 and 2015. The Greyhounds won the three meetings after that before the two squad split last season's meetings, each winning its respective home game.
• Loyola is on a three-game win streak at home against Colgate.
Up Next
• Loyola will host Lehigh in its final regular-season home game Wednesday night. Game time is set for 6 p.m.
