Ten things you need to know in Siena's game vs. Monmouth:
-           Siena has won nine of their last 10 meetings with the Hawks, as they topped the Hawks at the ARC earlier this season, and also defeated the Hawks last season here in West Long Branch by a final score of 77-68.
-           Eight of Siena's nine wins have come by 10 points or less, with the outlier their 12-point victory over the Hawks earlier this year.
-           Watts is also coming off a record-breaking performance against Monmouth, as she set a new Siena single-game record with eight total blocks back on Jan. 23. She broke the previous record of seven blocks, which was done four times (Katy Sturgis, Kathy Kaczkowski – 1990, Maggie Ward – 1990, Maddie Sims – 2019)
-           Additionally, 12 total blocks as a team against Monmouth, the Saints also had the most blocks in a game since Jan. 20, 1990 in a 69-59 win against Boston University at home in the ARC. 
-           Also only giving up 39 points to the Hawks, the Saints held a team to under 40 points for the first time since Feb. 25, 2018 when the Green and Gold defeated Saint Peter's in the ARC 70-36. The Saints held the Peacocks to just 23.2 percent shooting in that game, while the held the Hawks to just 23.9 percent from the field.
-           Senior Sabrina Piper has now dipped under 100 points until 1,000 career points, standing at 38 total points until the landmark. The Paris, France native has the chance to be Siena's 29th player on the list. She will be the latest since both Kollyns Scarbrough and current Director of Basketball Operations Meghan Donohue each eclipsed the mark in 2016-17.
-           The Saints had a five-game winning streak snapped by Rider earlier this season. The Saints had defeated Monmouth, Niagara, and Canisius in three straight games, all at home. Then the Saints topped Manhattan and Quinnipiac on the road before getting the streak snapped by the Broncs.
-           Sophomore Lala Watts has now entered the Top 10 list for blocked shots in a single season.  She is currently ranks second all-time as she passed Serena Moore's 2009-10 total of 51 last game. Leading the top of the list is Laura Lord's 85-86 total of 74 blocks.
-           In addition, Watts ranks first in the MAAC in blocked shots, currently averaging 2.1 blocks per game. She is the only play in the MAAC averaging over two blocks per game, as Rider's Amari Johnson ranks second with a 1.6 blocks per game average. Watts' 49 blocked shots rank Top 30 in the NCAA, while her 2.1 blocks per game also ranks Top 30 in the country.
-           Head Coach Ali Jaques needs just seven more wins to top former head coach Joe Hogan to become the second most winningest coach in program history.
