The Need to Knows
• University of Massachusetts women's basketball concludes a quick two-game homestand on Thursday night as Ivy League foe Brown visits the Mullins Center for a 7 p.m. tilt. Colin Cronin and Ryan Beaton will have the call on ESPN+.
• UMass boasts a perfect 11-0 all-time record against their cross-New England rival, including a 4-0 mark in Amherst dating back to the first meeting of the sides, an 82-56 win for the Minutewomen on Feb. 5, 1977. Last season, the squad knocked off the Bears by a 90-61 score in Providence, Rhode Island.
• Massachusetts is looking for its third straight triumph after two season-opening losses. In victories last week at UMass Lowell (Nov. 14) and vs. Hartford (Nov. 17), senior Hailey Leidel averaged a team-best 18.5 points and freshman Angelique Ngalakulondi pulled down 8.5 rebounds per game. Ngalakulondi came off the bench to contribute a career-high 12 boards in the Hartford win last Sunday.
• The win over Hartford featured a 17-0 run to open the game, the largest for Massachusetts since at least the 1997-98 season. During that stretch a lockdown defensive effort left Hartford 0-of-9 from the field before the Hawks were limited to 1-of-12 in the entire second quarter.
• Leidel (1,408 points) now holds sole possession of eighth place on the UMass all-time scoring list and needs 58 points to tie Pam Rosanio (2004-08) for ninth with 1,466. She is also one of 17 players in program history with at least 1,000 points plus 500 rebounds.• Massachusetts plays its final game before Thanksgiving on Mon., Nov. 25, traveling to St. John's for a 7 p.m. game in Queens, New York.
