SCOUTING FORDHAM
The Rams (16-8, 7-3 A-10) have won three in a row and are coming off a 54-51 win over Saint Louis on Wednesday. Fordham currently sits in fourth place in the Atlantic 10 standings. Sophomore Bre Cavanaugh ranks second in the A-10 with 16.2 points a game while also hauling down 6.9 rebounds a game from the guard spot.

SERIES HISTORY
Fordham leads the all-time series 6-3, winning the last five meetings. Mason has dropped each of the last two matchups by less than five points. The Patriots suffered a 67-62 loss last January in Fairfax despite four players scoring in double figures. This marks Mason's first trip to the Bronx since 2016. The Patriots are 1-3 at Rose Hill Gym.
 
LAST TIME OUT
Mason swept the regular-season series against rival George Washington for the first time with a 61-46 victory - their largest margin of victory ever in the series - on Wednesday in Fairfax. Sophomore guard Nicole Cardaño-Hillary scored a career-high 37 points on 14-of-23 shooting. She tied a personal-best with five 3-pointers and set a career-high with nine rebounds in addition to three steals. Juniors Alexsis Grate and Allie McCool each scored seven points as the Patriots held the Colonials to just 33.3 percent shooting and scored 18 points off 14 GW turnovers.

BIG NIGHT
Guard Nicole Cardaño-Hillary rattled off a career-high 37 points against George Washington on Wednesday. Her 37 points were the most by a Mason player in nearly 15 years, since Jen Derevjanik scored 40 against VCU on March 12, 2004. Cardaño-Hillary also set the Mason record for points in an Atlantic 10 Conference game as she set a career high with 14 field goals on 23 attempts for a 60-percent shooting night. It was her third 30-point plus performance of the season and her career.
