SCOUTING THE SILVERSWORDS
In the Knights last meeting with the Silverswords it was AAU who emerged victorious with a 77-67 win thanks to a 21 point performance from Sondra Stilwell. The Swords, who are 1-19, have not won a game since early in the season when they knocked off BYU-Hawaii in a non-conference match-up. Samantha Saito who is averaging just over 11 points per game and Kayci Will who is right below her with 9.3 points per game lead the Swords offensively. Will also leads the team on the glass; she has pulled down 83 total rebounds and averages 5.5 a game. Saito holds the top spot in assists (79) and steals (42)
SCOUTING THE SEASIDERS
The Urban Knights close out their 2009-2010 season with a rematch game against BYU-Hawaii. The Seasiders are 9-13 on the season and 5-7 in conference play. In the last meeting between the two, the Seasiders narrowly defeated the Urban Knights by a score of 80-75. It came down to free throws and a clutch lay-up by BYU-Hawaii that secured the win. The Urban Knights will need to keep their leading scorer, Richelle Fenenbock, under control if they want to get the win as the junior went for 17 points in their last meeting. On the season, Fenenbock is averaging 14 points per game. Mahina Gago is next on the team with 10.4 points per game, she also leads the team in rebounding - she has 126 total rebounds, 108 of them defensive.
LAST GAME RECAP

Although four different Urban Knights finished with ten or more points, they were unable to shut down the PacWest's leading offense.
Junior
Jessica Nolan had an outstanding game for the Urban Knights finishing with 12 points on 6-of-8 shots.
Nolan, the PacWest's leading rebounder, also pulled down a team high 11 rebounds and recorded four steals against the Red Storm.
Urban Knights leading scorer Stilwell, who is 5th in the PacWest in three point shooting percentage, was 4-of-8 from beyond the arc to bring her season average to 40 percent. The guard dished out five assists and grabbed two rebounds in 33 minutes on the floor.
