AMHERST, N.Y. - The Daemen College women's basketball team will close out its 2012-13 regular season this weekend when it heads to Salem, West Virginia to face Salem International University. The Saturday matinee is set to tipoff at 2 p.m.

Live streaming video and live stats are available for the game.
 
The same two teams met just two weeks ago at Daemen and the Wildcats posted a 74-55 victory. The Wildcats clung to a six-point lead (52-46) late in the second half before securing the win with a 10-2 run. Senior center Monica Kosior (Grimsby, Ont./Blessed Trinity Catholic) made the most of her final home game, as she totaled a career-high 27 points and 15 rebounds and equaled her career-high for blocks (7).
 
Daemen has won six of its last seven games and improved to 22-7 following an 85-52 win at Niagara College (Ont.) this past Sunday. The Wildcats have been ranked atop the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) Division I poll the past nine weeks. Daemen is expected to earn a bid to the eight-team USCAA National Championship Tournament, which is set to take place Feb. 26 – March 2 in Uniontown, Pa.
 
Kosior and fellow seniors Chelsea Andorka (Canton, Ohio/Central Catholic) and Ellie Allen (Amherst, N.Y./Sweet Home) have led the charge all season.
 
Kosior has recorded a double-double in eight of the last 12 games and is averaging team-highs with 13.6 points and 8.9 rebounds. Her 81 blocked shots leads all USCAA Division I players and ranks her eighth in program history for blocks in a season.
 
Andorka has reached double figures in points a team-high 23 times and ranks second on the team in scoring (12.8), rebounding (7.1 rpg), assists (4.2 apg), steals (67) and blocks (35).
 
Allen scored 17 points in a win over Carlow University this past weekend and has scored in double figures 20 times. She is averaging a team-high 28.9 minutes per game and is contributing a steady 12.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game.
 
Senior Samantha Stanfield (Brooklyn, N.Y./James Madison) and junior point guard Lindsay Stoddard (Limestone, N.Y./Allegany-Limestone) round out the starting five.
 
Stanfield netted nine points and grabbed 10 rebounds two weeks ago against SIU. She is averaging 7.9 points and 6.8 rebounds (third on the team), and leads the team in steals (96). She is looking to become the 10th player in program history, and the first since Erin Howarth in 2000-01, to record 100 steals in a season. Stoddard dished out a school-record 15 assists in a win over Fisher College, breaking the record of 13 most recently set by Marybeth Nugent in November of 2009. She ranks second on the team in three-point field goals (36) and is averaging 9.1 points and a team-high 5.3 assists per game.
 
Freshman guard Raeann Stilwell (Cheektowaga, N.Y./St. Mary's of Lancaster) has provided instant offense off the bench all season. She has averaged 12.4 points and has shot 47-percent (17-36) from three-point land over the past seven games and is averaging 9.6 points overall with 38 steals. She has drained a team-high 53 three-pointers and has become the 10th player in program history to record 50 triples in a season.
 
Daemen and Salem International faced each other for the first time ever two weeks ago.
 
Salem International is a NCAA Division II independent. The Tigers (4-17) have gone 3-3 over their last six games and are coming off a 60-41 victory over Washington Adventist earlier this week. Senior forward Shakinah Haggins and sophomore guard Inkers Patterson have paced the Tigers. Haggins scored 20 points in a recent win over Ursuline and is averaging 9.2 points and 5.4 rebounds. Patterson is averaging 9.2 points with 40 steals. Junior forward Porcha Davis joined the team in January and has averaged 11.6 points and 6.1 rebounds. She totaled 16 points and 11 boards in the win over Washington Adventist. The Tigers are averaging 53.3 points per game.

A win on Saturday would give Daemen its third consecutive season of at least 23 victories.
