The Niagara College women's basketball (4-3, 5th West) program will be travelling to Hamilton Thursday evening to face the Mohawk Mountaineers (6-1, 3rd West).

Stef Hrymak (Hamilton) is ranked sixth with 17.3 points per game and second year guard JenJen Abella (Hamilton) is eighth, averaging 15.7 points per game.
Niagara is coming off an 83-67 loss to Humber College (7-0, 1st West) and are eager to get back in the win column. Welland native Courtney McPherson had her best game of the season, leading the Knights with 23 points and 15 rebounds.
