Tribe Women?s Basketball Hosts Navy on Friday

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - The William and Mary Tribe women's basketball team will host the Navy Midshipmen on Friday, November 18 at 7 p.m. at Kaplan Arena.  Fans can follow along with the action at TribeAthletics.com with live video, live audio, and live stats.

Tribe Storylines
- After starting the season with an impressive, 31-point win over Cornell, the College lost its first road game of the season at Richmond on Monday.  The Tribe returns home to Williamsburg to host Navy on Friday, looking to start the season at 2-1 for the sixth time in the last seven seasons.

- Playing well in the loss to the Spiders on Monday was junior Emily Correal, who tallied her eighth career double-double with 13 points and a game-high 12 rebounds.  Correal shot 5-of-11 from the floor and also had a steal in 33 minutes of action.

- In the all-time series with the Mids, Navy holds a record of 7-5 over William and Mary.  In Williamsburg, however, each team has won three times.  Overall, the College has won three straight against Navy, including a 90-50 win the last time the two teams met on November 30, 1993.

Scouting Navy
The 2010-11 season for the Navy Midshipmen was one of the most successful in program history, with the Mids winning the Patriot League championship and earning a bid to the NCAA Tournament.  Despite losing a tough first-round game to DePaul, Navy ended the season with a record of 20-12.  This season, the Midshipmen return 10 players, including three starters, and are expected to once again compete for the Patriot League title.

After earning Patriot League Rookie of the Year and Patriot Tournament MVP honors last season, sophomore forward Jade Geif was tabbed the conference's preseason player of the year.  In 2010-11, Geif started all 32 games for the Mids, averaging 9.6 points and a team-best 7.9 rebounds a game.

Navy comes in to Friday's game with the Tribe with a 0-2 record on the season, having lost to Richmond at home and at Loyola (MD).  Geif is leading the team in both points and rebounds this season at 9.0 PPG and 7.0 RPG, while sophomore forward Audrey Bauer is second on the team in points, averaging 7.5 per contest.  As a team, Navy is averaging 38.5 points per game while allowing opponents to score 49.0.

Correal Corrals Double-Double at Richmond
Despite a tough loss to the Spiders on November 14, junior forward Emily Correal recorded her eighth career double-double at Richmond.  The Venetia, Pennsylvania native scored 13 points and grabbed a team-high 12 rebounds in the loss.  Correal's eight career double-doubles are the most for any current Tribe player.

Aldridge Named CAA Player of the Week
After helping lead the Tribe to a season-opening win over Cornell on November 11, junior guard Janine Aldridge was named CAA Player of the Week.  From the tip against the Big Red, one could see it was going to be quite the game for junior Janine Aldridge.  After scoring the first seven points of the contest, Aldridge went on to lead all scorers with a career-high 24 points.  The Massapequa, New York native shot 9-of-11 from the field, including an amazing 5-of-6 from beyond the arc.

Quick Hands
Through two games this season, the Tribe has made stealing a habit.  The College opened the season with 16 steals against Cornell and then stole the ball 13 times against Richmond.  On the year, the Green and Gold is averaging 14.5 steals a game.
