The Siena Women's Basketball team continues league play Monday afternoon as the Saints head to New Rochelle to take on the Iona Gaels at 2 p.m.
 
The Saints (0-9) look to bounce back after a loss on Saturday afternoon to the four-time MAAC Champion Quinnipiac Bobcats Saturday afternoon at the UHY Center. Despite outscoring the Bobcats 31-30 in the second half, the Saints would fall by a final score of 68-51.
 
Leading the way for the Saints would be fifth-year Selena Philoxy, who notched her first double-double in a Siena uniform by scoring a season-high 15 points and grabbing 12 rebounds. Philoxy also added four steals, two assists, and a block to her stat line for the afternoon. Also in double figures would be senior Rayshel Brown, as she scored 10 points and added five rebounds. Senior Amari Anthony also had a solid game, finishing with eight points.
 
Siena and Iona meet for the 73^rd time in their history, with the Saints holding a 43-29 advantage. The Saints are winners of seven of the last 10 meetings between the two schools, which featured a four-game winning streak.
 
The last time the two teams met was senior day in 2019, as senior Sabrina Piper got the proper send-off as the Paris, France native saw her team lock down the Iona Gaels in the first half and sail to a 57-45 victory at the UHY Center.
 
The Saints were propelled by a 15 point, eight rebound, four assist game from freshman Julia Hauer. Piper would also chip in with 13 points and sophomore Amari Anthony added 11. It would be the second time this season the Saints would feature four different players in double-figure scoring.
 
The Gaels (2-6, 0-3) are looking to snap a six-game losing skid after winning their first two games of the season. Iona returns 11 players from a year prior (four starters) and welcome five newcomers to the program (three true freshmen and two transfers). Senior Juana Camilion was voted to the 2021-22 Preseason All-MAAC Second Team. She has scored in double-figures in six of Iona's eight contests this year. Iona welcomed back five of their top six scorers from last season, including the top three scorers in 2020-21: Camilion, Olivia Vezaldenos and Ketsia Athias.
