TRENDING NOW: Reigning two-time NE-10 Rookie of the Week, Dana Watts (Rochester, N.Y.), has registered double digits in seven straight games, averaging a team-high 14.4 points over that span, all wins for the Southwest leading Yellow Jackets.

ABOUT AIC: With the 2016 Southwest Division clinched, the Yellow Jackets look to tune up for the postseason in Tuesday's season finale. After beginning the season with a program-best 15 wins, AIC notched their 11th 20-win season and first since 2008-09 with their win over Southern Connecticut on Feb. 10. Senior Brianna Bishop (Suffield, Conn.) leads the team with 13.5 points and 2.3 assists. Classmate Kamika Mason (Long Beach, Calif.) chips in 11.4, while Watts (10.7) is shooting a team-best 50.3 percent from the floor.

SCOUTING THE PANTHERS: Opening eighth in the first NCAA East Region Rankings of the season, Adelphi looks for a deep run in the Northeast-10 Championship to help secure a spot in the NCAA Tournament. Sierra Clark paces an offense that scores 62.4 points-per-game with 13.7 points. Ashley Gomez chips in 12.6 points and noches a team-high 2.6 assists.

THE LAST MEETING: In a rematch of the 2015 Northeast-10 Championship game, the Yellow Jackets rushed out a 19-point halftime lead and cruised to a 71-40 win over the Panthers at the Butova Gym in November. The win snapped a nine game losing streak to AU dating back to the 2011-12 season. Bishop led four players in double figures with 15 points off 5-10 shooting. Junior Imani Stepney (Willingboro, N.J.) hauled in 10 rebounds, while going 3-3 from the floor for six points. AIC shot 47.2 percent from the floor (25-53) and owned the battle of the boards (43-23). Calli Balfour registered a team-high 11 points off the Panther bench.

FOR FREE: As a team, Kristen Hutchison's squad is hitting 76.4 percent from the charity stripe, the second mark best in the NE-10. Bishop leads the nation in free throw percentage (94.4%).

THREE'S COMPANY: With her two three's last week at Pace, Bishop moved into a tie with Kristen Boesenberg '10 for third in program history with 199 career trey's.

NEXT UP: The Yellow Jackets host the Northeast-10 Championship Quarterfinals Sunday, Feb. 28 at 3 p.m. Opponent is still to be determined based on the outcome of the first round matchups.
