All NYU games will be broadcast via an Internet audio feed, while the NYU Department of Sports Information will provide live stats for all Tournament games.

Last season, the Violets defeated Farmingdale State College for the Tip-Off Tournament title.

NYU is coming off a 72-32 road non-conference victory over New Jersey City University on Tuesday night.  Senior Jessica McEntee tallied 14 points and 15 rebounds in 20 minutes of action.  Meanwhile, senior Sarah McDevitt and sophomore Christine Kilmurray each scored eight points, with Kilmurray recording a career high.  Thirteen different players scored for the Violets, who held the Gothic Knights scoreless for a stretch of 12:10.
