Ten things you need to know in Siena's game vs. Quinnipiac:
-           The Saints have won four in a row for their longest win streak of the season. The Saints defeated Monmouth, Niagara, and Canisius in three straight games, all at home. Then on Thursday, the Saints topped Manhattan on the road 59-49.
-           The Saints and Bobcats first met in 2013-14 when Quinnipiac first joined the MAAC. The team from Hamden has had control of the series so far, winning all 14 previous matchups since then. Neither program faced off prior to Quinnipiac joining the MAAC.
-           Sophomore Lala Watts has now entered the Top 10 list for blocked shots in a single season.  She is currently tied for sixth with Katy Sturgis at 42 for the season. Sturgis blocked 42 shots back in the 1982-83 season.
-           The Saints topped the Jaspers for their first win in three tries in Kids Day games this season
-           Siena led Manhattan wire to wire on Thursday, as the Jaspers did not hold a lead. The Green and Gold have led wire to wire in five of their seven victories this season. Both UAlbany (12/7) and Niagara (1/30) each held leads at various points in their matchups.
-           Senior Sabrina Piper has now dipped under 100 points until 1,000 career points, standing at 901 total points for her career. 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 29-point victory over the Canisius Golden Griffins at home last Saturday was the Green and Gold's largest margin of victory in a game since they defeated Saint Peter's 70-36 back on Feb. 25, 2018 on Senior Day. Both games were played in the Alumni Recreation Center.
-           Sophomore Amari Anthony notched a career-high 22 points in the commanding victory over Canisius. Anthony went 8-for-14 from the floor, including five three pointers.
-           Sophomore Lala Watts has been a steady rock in the post as of late, as she recorded her first collegiate double-double last Thursday night. She scored 10 points with 11 rebounds and five blocks on the night.
-           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)
