AMHERST, Mass. - The University of Massachusetts women's basketball team begins a stretch of six straight games away from home as they take on Monmouth on Sunday. The Minutewomen and Hawks tip at 2 p.m. on FloHoops.

Series History
Sunday's game marks the first ever all-time between UMass and Monmouth. The game marks the first of three straight games against first time opponents with Green Bay and Washington State to follow on the schedule for the Minutewomen.

Last Time Out
Kristin Williams scored a team-leading 16 points to mark her third performance in double figures this season in Thursday's loss to Harvard. UMass fell behind by 20 points in the first quarter but rallied by outscoring Harvard by 10 over the next two quarters and pulled within seven on a Stefanie Kulesza layup with under a minute left in the third. Kulesza finished with her second career double-double with 13 points and 10 assists.

Double Up x2
Junior forward Stefanie Kulesza recorded her second double-double at home in as many games and she finished with 13 points and 10 rebounds in Thursday's game against Harvard. Kulesza began the season with a career-high 15 points and 14 rebounds in the win over Saint Peter's and has reached double figures in scoring and rebounding three times each on the year. Kulesza's two double-doubles also marks the ninth-most among DI leaders.

Crashing The Boards
Stefanie Kulesza leads the Atlantic 10 and ranks 14th among DI leaders in total rebounds this season with 39. Kulesza has surpassed 10 rebounds in three of four games this season and averages a team-leading 9.8 rebounds per contest to rank second among A-10 leaders in the category.

From Deep
Kristin Williams leads the Minutewomen with nine made 3-pointers on the season and ranks third among A-10 leaders. The guard has made multiple shots from deep in three of four games and opened the season with three made 3-pointers against both Saint Peter's and Northeastern.

Protecting The Rock
Graduate guard Tori Hyduke ranks third in the Atlantic 10 in assist to turnover ratio at 2.40 through four games. Hyduke recorded season-best numbers in assists with four at Northeastern and against Harvard and has 12 assists on the year to five turnovers.
