Scouting The Bulldogs
Bryant returns to action after a tumultuous week of New England weather, in which the Bulldogs played one game against St. Francis Brooklyn - a 68-57 loss - and had their game against Sacred Heart postponed due to Winter Storm Nemo. Saturday's game against Wagner will be just the third contest in 13 days for the Bulldogs.
Junior Naana Ankoma-Mensa leads Bryant both offensively and in rebounding, averaging a double-double of 14.0 ppg and 12.5 rpg. Fellow junior Courtney Schissler is second on the team in scoring at 10.1 ppg. Junior Jenniqua Bailey has posted 9.0 ppg and a team-leading 3.2 apg.
All-Time vs. Bryant
