ABOUT THE SAILFISH
- The Sailfish enter Saturday's game still seeking their first win of the season, although their last two games could have gone either way.  PBA was edged on the road by Armstrong Atlantic State (Ga.), 66-64, then fell in overtime at Embry-Riddle (Fla.), 62-56.  Saturday's game will be their first home game of the season.
- Hannah Grim, a sophomore transfer from NCAA Division I Marquette University, leads the team in scoring averaging 16.7 points per game.  She has been the team in scoring in all of its three games.
- The Sailfish have outshot and out-rebounded their opponents thus far this season but have struggled with turnovers, giving the ball up an average of 32 times per game.  They do create turnovers with their defense, however, forcing an average of 22 per game.
- Ayanna Holmes and Nkiru Anyagaligbo are both strong rebounders, averaging 8.7 rebounds per game apiece.

ABOUT THE TRITONS
- Eckerd has been led offensively by the team's two most experienced players, Victoria Vine and Margaret Sundberg, both of whom average 12.0 points per game.  On Wednesday, Vine posted her first career double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds as the Tritons opened conference play with a win over Saint Leo.
- The Tritons have been able to take care of the basketball for the most part this season, entering today's contest averaging 13.3 turnovers per game.  That ball control may be challenged by a PBA team that has the ability to pressure the basketball.
- Vine, Sundberg and transfer Kacie Juday have been the team's most efficient shooters.  Vine leads the team shooting 46.9 percent from the field while Sundberg and Juday are both shooting 46.2 percent.
- Vine and Juday also lead the team on the boards, averaging 9.0 and 7.0 rebounds per game respectively.

LOOKING BACK
TheTritons handled PBA twice last season, winning on the road 70-59 and at home 66-50.  Eckerd has won 13 in a row in the series dating back to December 19, 2008.
