UMBC's Recent Home Wins

The Retrievers (3 - 2) have been on a roll with two consecutive home victories. Against Morgan State, they emerged victorious with a score of 81 - 72. And in their last home game against American, they showed great resilience. With just over a minute left and the visitors cutting the lead to four, 49 - 45, the Retrievers made multiple defensive stops to hold on and secure the 50 - 45 win. Tiara Bellamy and Talia Davis each contributed 10 points to lead the team. Jaden Walker had an impressive game with a game-high 11 rebounds.

Manhattan's Recent Success

Manhattan is also in great form. They recently won the Battle of the Bronx by beating rival Fordham with a score of 65 - 58. This win extended their win streak to four games overall. Tegan Young played a crucial role, pouring in a career-high 20 points to ensure the Manhattan win for the second year in a row.

Last Meeting Between UMBC and Manhattan

Last December in New York City, UMBC and Manhattan faced off. Three Retrievers reached double-figures, but a fourth-quarter rally by Manhattan was too much as the Retrievers dropped a 68 - 52 decision. The Jaspers built a game-high 19-point lead at 45 - 26 midway through the third, but UMBC fought back and cut the deficit to 52 - 43 less than three minutes into the final frame. However, the hosts were unable to secure the victory.
