ALBANY, N.Y. - Siena Women's Basketball looks to reclaim Capital Region bragging rights for the first time in five years when the Saints host crosstown rival UAlbany in the Professional Fire Restoration Services #AlbanyCup at 5 p.m. Gameday Central coverage begins with the pregame show at 4:30 p.m. locally on WVCR 88.3 FM "The Saint" and online in HD at SienaAllAccess.com.

Siena (3-3) will also be looking to halt a three-game losing streak after starting the season 3-0 for the first time in 21 years. However, Siena's last three opponents each won 21 or more games last season and played in a national postseason tournament.

It doesn't get any easier today against a UAlbany (4-3) squad, which has won three straight America East Championships and recorded an 82-22 (.788) overall record since the start of the 2011-12 season.
