The Saint Francis women's basketball team will host Le Moyne on Saturday at DeGol Arena. The Red Flash are looking to end a five-game losing streak and earn their 400th all-time Northeast Conference (NEC) victory.

Why it matters

This game is significant for the Red Flash as they aim to end their current five-game losing streak and reach a historic milestone of 400 NEC wins, which would be the first team in conference history to achieve that feat.

In the first meeting, Le Moyne defeated the Red Flash 73-69 behind double-digit scoring efforts from Buragas, Kayden Clark, Eli Clark, and Linnin.
