After defeating both Carnegie Mellon University and Case Western Reserve University last weekend at the Jerome S. Coles Sports Center, the New York University women's basketball team will look to duplicate their success on the road this weekend against their University Athletic Association (UAA) rivals.

First, the Violets (11-7, 3-4 UAA) will travel to Pittsburgh to face Carnegie Mellon on Friday night at 6 p.m.  Two days later, they will be in Cleveland to face Case Western at 2 p.m.

Carnegie Mellon will be offering live stats, as well as an internet audio and video broadcasts.  Meanwhile, Case Western will provide an audio/video simulcast

Jen Hum-Traverso averaged 15.5 points, 3.5 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 2.5 steals last weekend as NYU turned back Carnegie Mellon (78-62) and Case Western (70-58).  Hum-Traverso posted career-high-tying marks of 16 points, four three-pointers and five assists against Carnegie Mellon.  Meanwhile, Hailey Kimball tallied a personal-best 16 points against Carnegie Mellon and added 10 more against Case Western.

Overall, the Violets are facing two of the UAA rivals they have enjoyed their most success against. They are 35-9 all-time against Carnegie Mellon, including 15 straight wins since the Tartans sprang a 59-55 upset on Feb. 8, 2002.  Meanwhile, NYU is 31-3 against Case Western with three straight victories since the Spartans secured a season sweep in 2008.
