OPENING TIP
Prior to Saturday's game, the Hawks will honor seniors Emirson Devenie and Faith Stinson along with managers Chris Newman, Jacqueline Seijas, and Abby Oakes.
 
Saint Joseph's looks to close the regular season on a high note after a four-game win streak was snapped at George Mason. Richmond enters Hagan Arena needing a win and outside help to claim a share of the Atlantic 10 regular-season title.
 
Faith Stinson paced the Hawks against the Patriots with 15 points. Gabby Casey and Aleah Snead added nine points each, while Rhian Stokes and Cecilia Kay chipped in seven apiece.
 
Casey remains one of six players nationally averaging at least 15.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 3.0 assists while shooting 45% from the field and 35% from three, joining Maggie Doogan (Richmond), Olivia Miles (TCU), Sarah Strong (UConn), Kiki Rice (UCLA), and Taylee Chirrick (Montana State).
 
Saint Joseph's continues to rank among the nation's best in ball movement, sitting second nationally in assist rate (70.8%), trailing only Northwestern (71.1%). The Hawks are one of four programs nationally above the 70% mark.
 
The Hawks have also thrived when playing from ahead, posting a 15-0 record when leading at halftime and an 18-0 mark when leading with five minutes remaining.
 
 
SHARING IS CARING
Through 28 games, the Hawks have assisted on 476 of their 672 made field goals, maintaining one of the nation's top assist rates at 70.8 percent. Only four teams nationwide sit above the 70 percent threshold.
 
Ball movement has been a staple of the program, with Saint Joseph's ranking top 30 nationally in assist-to-turnover ratio twice over the past three seasons. This year, the Hawks remain top 30 (1.19) while leading the Atlantic 10 in assists per game (17.0).
 
 
RHIAN'S IN CHARGE
After four starts as a freshman, Rhian Stokes has taken over primary playmaking duties this season. The sophomore ranks sixth in the conference with 3.4 assists per game and is approaching 100 assists.
 
Stokes also leads the Hawks in three-point percentage (41.7%) and free-throw percentage (80.3%), totaling 10 assists with just three turnovers over the last three games.
 
 
CASEY STEPPING UP
Gabby Casey has been a do-it-all presence in 2025-26, leading the team in points, rebounds, and steals per game. She has reached double figures in 23 of 27 games, grabbed at least five rebounds 21 times, and recorded three or more steals nine times.
 
Casey has led the Hawks in rebounding 14 times, scoring and steals 13 times, and assists 10 times, while pacing the team with six games featuring a team-best plus/minus. She has already surpassed previous single-season highs in points, rebounds, assists, and steals.
 
 
SNEAD IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Aleah Snead is 27-9 all-time when inserted into the starting lineup for the Hawks, with 19 of those victories coming by double digits.
 
Snead recorded her third double-double of her career with 16 points, 12 rebounds and six assists against Loyola Chicago. Headed back to the Midwest, Snead led the Hawks in scoring (18), rebounding (5) and assists (7) against Saint Louis.
 
 
LET IT FLY
The Hawks are coming off a program-record 231 three-pointers in 2024-25. Saint Joseph's sits six makes shy of 200 this season, which would mark the third straight year — and fourth time in program history — reaching that milestone.
