Alexa Barbush, Franklin & Marshall

Franklin & Marshall at Johns Hopkins (Women's Basketball)
The Diplomats (14-4, 17-6) trail the Blue Jays (15-3, 20-3) by a single game in the chase for the top spot in the Conference and need a win to keep their hopes for a regular-season Centennial title alive. Hopkins won the year's first meeting by a 57-46 count on Jan. 25 to extend its series win streak to eight. F&M's last win in the series was at Goldfarb Gym in 2009 (54-52). Who wins the individual matchups will be key - F&M's Alexa Barbush (16.4 ppg) or JHU's Chantal Mattiola (13.0 ppg)? The Diplomats' Kristina McCarthy (9.7 ppg, 9.1 rpg) or the Jays' Alex Vassila (10.4 ppg, 9.3 rpg)?
