Yale defeated Bryant 61-48 on Wednesday, while Rider earned a 58-43 road win at Long Island on Tuesday. The matchup features a compelling duel between standout guards. Yale’s Ciniya Moore has been a consistent offensive force, averaging 16.0 points per game. She is coming off a 22-point performance against Bryant and has scored in double figures in every game this season, including a 22-point outing in a win at American on Nov. 26.
