Keys Against Providence
- Starting Fast: Coming off consecutive poor performances the Bluejays' confidence would benefit from a strong start.
- Win the Turnover Battle: Providence averages 16.3 per game and forces 13.2. In BIG EAST play that gap is 18.3 and 11.8
- Get Elger Going: Olivia is battling through some tenderness in her knee, but as with the rest of the squad she will benefit from a few early buckets.
