Wrapping up the road trip, New Haven heads to Long Island to take on the Adelphi Panthers looking break a five-game skid against the Panthers. At the same time, the Chargers are on a milestone watch as graduate post player Aurora Deshaies (Syracuse, N.Y./Bishop Ludden) is rapidly approaching the 1,000-rebound plateau, entering Wednesday night searching for 38 rebounds to become just the fourth player at UNH to pull down 1,000+ rebounds.

Her recent success has also moved her up the scoring column, currently third on the team with an average of 9.6 ppg. Rounding out the trio of top scorers is sophomore Lindsay Hogan (Bayville, N.Y./Locust Valley) who has helped fill the void left by the loss of two of the top three scorers from a year ago as she is averaging 10.3 points per game. The Chargers have relied on the experience of senior Gabrielle Stickle (Syracuse, N.Y./Jamesville-DeWitt) to run the offense and she has not disappointed, dishing out 60 assists and is 9th in the NE10 with 3.2 per game. Included for Stickle is a pair of games with a career-high eight assists versus Goldey-Beacom and Georgian Court.
