A Look at the Knights (2-0)

• MSMC is one of three Skyline conference schools to have not lost a game so far this season. Purchase is 3-0, while Merchant Marine is 1-0. Technically, Old Westbury has not lost a game, as it has not played.

• The Knights are led in rebounding by sophomore Kayla Cleare, who has averaged nine boards per game.
• Jordyn Hellpap has been shooting 42.3 percent from behind the arc, leading the Knights, who has been shooting just 23.4 percent from three this season.
• Turnovers will be key this game, as MSMC forces 21.5 turnovers per game while only giving up 15.
• The Knights were chosen to finish fifth in the Skyline conference after finishing 14-13 last season with a 10-6 mark in league play.
• Like the Brewers, MSMC has a young team with no seniors, five juniors, five sophomores and two freshmen.
