MORE ON THE MATCHUP

ALBANY vs. VERMONTAll-Time Series: Albany leads 21-17. • UVM snapped a 19 game losing streak to Albany (which started in 2011) with a 63-57 win at Patrick Gym on February 8.

• The Catamounts lost all three meetings last season, including the quarterfinals matchup in Portland (65-45).

SCOUTING ALBANY• 23-6 overall, 11-2 in non-conference play, 12-1 at home, 9-5 on the road and 2-0 in neutral sites thus far. Record of 12-4 in America East play (2nd).

• Two Great Danes average at least 10 points and five rebounds per game: Jessica Fequiere (17.9 PPG, 6.2 RPG) and Tiana-Jo Carter (10.9 PPG, 5.0 RPG). Fequiere finished second in the conference in scoring.

West Liberty State ‘97, Eastern Kentucky G’99.

NEWS AND NOTES

LAST TIME OUTALL THE ‘WRIGHT’ REASONS• Junior Candice Wright continues to leave a mark on the record book. The native of Cambridge, Ontario has registered 139 blocks in her career, the most among any Catamount for a career. Wright became the sole leader in that category with five blocks at Rider on Dec. 1. She has recorded two more five-block games this season: vs. CCSU on Dec. 21 and at Stony Brook on Jan. 13.

• As a freshman two years ago, Wright logged 50 blocks, setting a single-season program record in that category.

• Of the top-4 UVM shot blockers of all-time (not named Candice Wright), none had more than 46 through their sophomore campaign. It took Wright just one season to reach 50 blocks.

I’D LIKE TO THANK THE ACADEMY• Hanna Crymble won the America East Player of the Week award for the week ending on Nov. 19, 2017. On Friday, Nov. 17 vs. Howard, the sophomore scored a career-high 37 points and tied a career-high with 13 rebounds for her lone double-double this season. Crymble has eclipsed the 30-point mark in two games. She won the America East Co-Player of the Week Award for the week ending on Jan. 7.

• Crymble ranks fourth in the America East in scoring (17.0 PPG), second in field goal percentage (54.5%) and second in free throw percentage (89.3%). Her free throw percentage ranks 9th among all NCAA Division I players.

• Crymble registered double figures in 23 of 29 games this season and has scored 20+ points in nine of those games. Her 17 straight double-digit scoring game streak snapped vs. Binghamton on Jan. 31.

SYDNEY SMITH: 1K• With a 16-point performance against Florida International University in Miami on Dec. 30, Sydney Smith became just the 21st player in program history to reach the 1,000 point threshold. She now ranks 14th all-time at Vermont with 1,164 career points.

• Additionally, Smith has buried 185 three-point field goals in her career, which ranks 4th in program history. She is closing in on 3rd place (187), held by May Kotsopoulos ‘10.

• February 25 vs. Stony Brook: The Catamounts closed out the regular season with five consecutive losses, with the a 55-49 defeat to Stony Brook on Senior Day. The only player to reach double-figures for UVM was senior Syd-ney Smith, who scored 13 points. Hanna Crymble came off the bench for the only time during the regular season, al-lowing senior Rachel Merrill to log the second start of her career in her final regular season game. The Catamounts made this game close after losing the two previous contests by more than 30 points each. As a team, Vermont shot 33% from the field, 21% (7-34) from the perimeter and just 2-3 at the free throw line against Stony Brook on Sunday af-ternoon.

MORE DEPTH IN 2017-18• With Sydney Smith back on the court, the Catamounts have instantly upgraded. The senior can score consistently. When healthy, Smith’s numbers speak for themselves as she led the team with 12.1 points per game in 2016-17 before her season came to an abrupt ending due to a knee injury. • Senior Katie Lavelle is seeing solid minutes at point guard with freshmen Kianna Funderburk backing her up. Coach Day feels good about what that duo can bring to the table. • Sophomore Hanna Crymble is one of the more dynamic players on the roster. Her versatility continues to improve, as she posted a double-double in the Nov. 4 game against St. Michael’s. Crymble should have a chance to be an All-Conference player in 2017-18 after a season in which she was selected to the conference’s All-Rookie Team. • After sitting out 2016-17, junior Cassidy Derda is cleared to play for the Catamounts. The South Burlington native could not play last season after playing for St. Francis Brooklyn. She has two years of eligibility remaining. • There were some positives for the Catamounts last season despite a 9-20 record. UVM led the America East in FG% defense (36%) and finished second in 3-pt % defense (29.5%). Vermont was one of three America East teams (including Binghamton and Albany) to average more than 4 blocks per game.• The team seeks to lower turnovers this season. That figure was at 18.4 per game last season. With a deeper lineup, this team aims to score at least 60 PPG this season. However, the biggest key to this season is to maintain a healthy roster, which was not the case last year.
