Rhyne Howard is currently averaging 17.5 points and 4.9 rebounds and Allisha Gray with 17.1 points and 3.1 assists per game. They will have to work with the rest of the team to create a consistent run game on the floor if they want to take a win in this series.
These two teams will go head-to-head at College Park Center tonight, tip-off is at 8:30 pm.
