Sturdy, a post player, is second in the nation in 3-point percentage at 54.7 percent. Monti is eighth in the nation in assists at 6.7 per game.

And with Melissa Johnson out of the lineup, Sarah Johnson will be given another opportunity to shine. Earlier this year, she earned Ivy League Rookie of the Week honors after performances like an 18-point, 10-rebound game in 19 minutes against Rhode Island in December.

Another player who should see time is freshman Kate Ides, who saw significant minutes against Princeton, scoring 12 points on 5-of-6 shooting.

Egelhoff is optimistic about the weekend.

"Through the game film, we've located some seams in their defense," she said. "We have definite game plans for both teams, we just have to execute them."
