Some quick notes heading into tonight’s women’s basketball game against Stonehill. UML knocked off then No. 5 Stonehill with a 75-73 victory in Easton on November 25.

- Some of the things that jump out about that game include the Skyhawks inability to deal with UML senior center Revital Carmon. She scored 19 points on 9-of-10 shooting and grabbed 14 rebounds.

- UML also benefited from an incredible shooting night at the River Hawks hit on 53 percent of their shots. Point guard Rahshala Valentine dropped in 15 points, while Megan Berry and Antonnea Robinson each added 11 points. Nine players scored at least two points.

- Points in the paint were dominated by UML, 40 to 8, and bench scoring also went to UML, 14-2.

- Turnovers were contagious in the last meeting as the River Hawks coughed up 21 times and the Skyhawks turned it over 20 times.

- Stonehill forward Kelsey Simonds scored a game-high 24 points with 11 points coming from the free throw line.

- The Skyhawks got to the foul line for 27 attempts, converting on 25. They had 18 free throws in the second half alone. UML took just 14 free throws all game.
