Live Stats | Live Video 

Stony Brook, N.Y. -
The Stony Brook women's basketball team (0-3) plays the final game of its three-game homestand on Tuesday night vs. the Columbia Lions (2-1) at 7 p.m.

Scouting Columbia

The Lions are off to a 2-1 start, winning their last two games over Richmond and Saint Francis (Pa.). Columbia has three players averaging double figures in scoring in Camille Zimmerman (20.0 ppg), Tori Oliver (13.0 ppg) and Paulina Koemer (10.7 ppg). Their recent success can be traced to their aggressiveness on the glass. Through three games, the Lions have notched a +14.7 rebounding margin. Zimmerman leads the team at 14.0 rebounds per game.

Series History 

Stony Brook improved to 7-4 all-time vs. Columbia with a 79-71 victory last season. Kori Bayne-Walker led the way with 21 points.

Team Rebounding

Stony Brook did a nice job on the boards against a larger Syracuse opponent, finishing even in rebounding at 34-34. The Seawolves have hung tough on the glass thanks to the help they have received from their guards. Senior guard Christa Scognamiglio (Orangeburg, N.Y.) is tied for the league lead in defensive rebounding at 5.3 per game, while guard Aaliyah Worley (Philadelphia, Pa.) is tied for second in the league in offensive rebounding at 2.3 per contest.

Bayne-Walker from Downtown

Senior guard Kori Bayne-Walker (Rochester, N.Y.) has found consistency in her outside shot to start the season. She entered 2016-17 as a 22.4% three-point shooter for her career, but has knocked down five of eight threes (62.5%) this season, the second best mark in the America East. Bayne-Walker hit a career-high three three-pointers vs. Syracuse on Friday night and leads the Seawolves in scoring at 14.3 ppg. 

Success Against the IVY League

Stony Brook went 3-1 against the IVY League last season and is 5-1 in its last six contests dating back to the 2012-13 season. Columbia has been its most common opponent during that span. The Seawolves have taken all three match ups.
