GAME NOTES: Saint Louis | Massachusetts | Atlantic 10
• Saint Louis (6-12, 2-4 A-10) heads to Massachusetts Saturday for the final of two straight road contests for the Billikens.
• SLU was tabbed for a fourth-place finish in the Atlantic 10 Conference preseason poll, while Massachusetts was picked sixth.
• The Billikens lead the all-time series 15-6 over UMass, however the Minutewomen took two-of-three matchups last season, including in the semifinals of the A-10 Championship.
• Ciaja Harbison played in the 100th game of her career at Rhode Island Wednesday. She's started every game for the Billikens since her arrival in the 2018-19 season. She's one of just 13 current players in NCAA Division I to appear in 100 straight contests.
• Harbison enters the weekend ranked third in the league with 17.5 points per game, while ranking second in scoring in A-10 games only with an average of 20.0 points.
• With 1,582 points in her career, Harbison is four points shy of passing Sadie Stipanovich for second all-time at SLU.
• Brooke Flowers' 231 career blocks rank ninth among active players across the NCAA. Her 3.4 blocks per game are third best nationally.
• With averages of 10.6 points and 11.2 rebounds, Flowers is one of just two players in the A-10 who are averaging a double-double on the season (Sam Breen, UMass).
• Massachusetts enters Saturday's game with a 16-5 record, including a 4-3 record in the Atlantic 10 conference, after defeating Saint Joseph's, 74-48, last Saturday on the road.
• Breen, Sydney Taylor and Destiney Philoxy led the Minutewomen in its victory with 18, 17, and 13 points, respectively. Breen earned her 13th double-double of the year, and 36th of her career, after coming down with 10 rebounds, as well. Philoxy recorded a game-high eight assists, while Breen and Ber'Nyah Mayo had three steals apiece.
