The AMCC Women's Basketball Game of the Week is a repeat of the 2024 AMCC championship game, as La Roche University and Penn State Behrend battle it out for the top spot in conference standings. The Behrend Lions currently sit in first place with an 11-0 record, while the Redhawks are 10-1 and in second place. 

La Roche women’s basketball enters Wednesday’s Game of the Week looking to move its winning streak to 10. The Redhawks are coming off a week in which they defeated Mt. Aloysius in the AMCC Women's Game of the Week, 80-52, then followed it with a victory over Pitt-Bradford. Last week, Dasja Anderson averaged 11 points, seven rebounds, 5.5 assists, three steals and a block, while Jazmine Dunn, the AMCC's leader in assists, averaged 10 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 2.5 steals.

Behrend and La Roche are tied for the longest winning streak in the conference at nine games straight. Last time out, the Lions completed the season sweep over Mt. Aloysius with a 74-55 decision. Behrend had a 18-for 24 showing from the free-throw line on Saturday while senior F Alexis Furyes tied a season-best four blocks and led with eight rebounds. The win marked head coach Christine VanHook’s 150th career win with the Lions. Junior G Morgan Altavilla has recorded double-digit points in the last 18 games, dating back to Nov. 12, while Rachel Majewski scored double digits in the last 12. The Lions remain in the Top 10 in two NCAA Division III statistical categories: Sixth in scoring offense (80.6) and 10th in assist/turnover ratio (1.21).
