Saint Louis, Mo. – Set for a mid-morning showdown in Saint Louis Wednesday, Fordham University women's basketball heads out to the midwest for a meeting with the Billkens at 12:00 p.m. EST/11:00 a.m. CST.
Fordham (9-15, 1-12) will look to turn things around with five games left in the regular season including the trip to Saint Louis, after falling on the road at La Salle 70-53 Saturday for their sixth straight loss. Saint Louis looks to advance its playoff seeding late in the year, with just two wins separating seeds 6-12 in the standings. The Billikens have lost five straight, with their last win coming on Jan. 21 against the Rams.
When they met earlier this year at the Rose Hill Gym, Saint Louis claimed a 67-57 overtime victory against the Rams back on Jan. 21, which was also a Kids Day Out game. All-time, Saint Louis leads the series 14-12, winning the last two meetings to pull ahead.

The Rams are second in the league and 57th best of any team in the nation, averaging 23.4 bench points per game.
Fordham also sits 86th in the country in steals per game at 9.7/game, the second best average in the league as well, and rank 73rd in the country in turnovers forced per game, forcing opponents into 19.17/game, second in the A-10.
Scoring in double figures in each of her first 13 games as a Ram, and 15 of 17 games this season, Alexis Black has paced the Rams offense and sits 60th in the nation and third in the A-10 averaging 17.7 points per game.
