Women's basketball hopes to close out homestand 3-0

NEW YORK – Columbia women's basketball (12-5, 3-1 Ivy) looks to make it four Ivy League wins in a row, closing out a three-game homestand on Saturday against Dartmouth (9-8, 0-4 Ivy). Opening tip from Schiller Court at Levien Gym is slated for 2 p.m.

PRIDE DAY
• Saturday is Columbia's sixth annual Pride Game. The team will be sporting special warm-ups and the first 250 fans will receive a pride bracelet. Columbia's Pride Game has been a staple at Levien Gym since 2020 and brings in several on-campus groups to celebrate the team's commitment to being an ally for all.

BARNARD DAY
• Saturday is also Barnard Day, celebrating the Columbia-Barnard Athletic Consortium. Established in 1983, the Columbia-Barnard Athletic Consortium allows students at neighboring Barnard College to compete together with Columbia undergraduates at the NCAA Division I level as part of the Ivy League. There is also a pregame clinic to celebrate National Girls & Women in Sports Day.

BROADCAST INFORMATION
Lance Medow and Doug Feinberg will be on the call for Saturday's game. Fans who are unable to attend can watch live on ESPN+ and the ESPN app.

OPENING TIPS
• Columbia is coming off home wins against Yale and Brown over MLK Weekend. Against the Bulldogs, sophomore Nasi Simmons had 10 points and a program-record 10 steals. She went on to be named one of five U.S. Basketball Writers Association Women's Players of the Week (Jan. 12-18).

• Across four Ivy League games, senior Perri Page is averaging 19.8 points, 8.5 rebounds and shooting 65.4 percent from the field. She is first in league play in FG%, No. 2 in scoring and No. 3 in rebounding. Fliss Henderson is the leader in league play in rebounding (10.8) and assists (5.5).

• On the season overall, Columbia leads the Ivy League in assists per game (16.4) and steals per game (12.7). The Lions rank No. 15 in the NCAA in steals and top 50 in assists.

• Page is one of five players in the NCAA to average at least 14.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.5 steals and shoot 50% or better from the field. Two of the other three players are reigning All-Americans Sarah Strong (UConn) and Madison Booker (Texas). Nationally, Page ranks top 50 in steals per game (2.65) and top 40 in field goal percentage (54.8%).

• The Lions have won 10 in a row in the series against Dartmouth, which is Columbia's longest winning streak in series history. They currently own three winning streaks of 10+ games against Ivy League foes – Brown (W14), Yale (W11).

TOP 10 AWAITS WEISS
• Riley Weiss is on the cusp of becoming one of the top 10 scorers in Columbia women's basketball history. She enters Saturday's game against Dartmouth with 1,062 career points, which currently places her 11th.

• Weiss is six points behind Ellen Bossert (1984-86) for a top-10 spot. Bossert scored 1,068 points in just two seasons, which were the first two seasons in Columbia women's basketball program history.

• Weiss would be the sixth Lion to become a top-10 all-time scorer since Megan Griffith took over as head coach in 2016. The other five are all-time leading scorer Abbey Hsu (2,126), former all-time leader Camille Zimmerman (1,973), Kitty Henderson (1,350), Tori Oliver (1,337) and Kaitlyn Davis (1,083).

BROWN POSTGAME NOTES (Jan. 19)
• Mia Broom went 4-of-5 from 3-point range, marking the first time a Lion has gone 4-for-5 or better from deep since Cecelia Collins went 4-for-5 in an 84-50 win over Pacific on Nov. 20, 2024.

• Brown's five assists were the fewest by a Columbia opponent since Nov. 4, 2024, when Stony Brook had just four in an 87-47 Lions win at Levien Gymnasium.

• Columbia's 17 steals marked its seventh game with 15+ this season. The Lions are 7-0 in those games.

• Mia Broom matched her career-high in scoring (14) and set new career-highs in 3-pointers made (4) and minutes played (27:21).

• Fliss Henderson matched career-highs in both field goals made and attempted (6-12).

• Perri Page set a new career-high in field goal percentage (min. 5 made) by going 6-of-8.

• Weiss recorded the 50th double-figure scoring game of her career.

SIMMONS BREAKS SINGLE-GAME STEALS RECORD
• Nasi Simmons' program-record 10 steals marked the first 10-steal game by an Ivy League player since Ania McNicholas (Cornell) had 10 steals in a 93-49 win over NCAA Div. II Clarion on Dec. 28, 2022. In that game, McNicholas recorded a triple-double of 13 points, 13 rebounds and 10 steals.

• It is the first time an Ivy League player had 10+ steals against an NCAA Div. I opponent since Carlie Littlefield (Princeton) had 10 in a 75-50 win over George Washington on Nov. 10, 2019. In that game, Littlefield had a double-double of 22 points and 10 steals.

• Simmons' double-double with steals is just the 10th by an NCAA Div. I player this season. The last came on Dec. 21 when Notre Dame's Hannah Hidalgo had 30 points, 13 steals and 10 assists in a win over Bellarmine.

• Of the 10 steals double-doubles in the NCAA this season, only Simmons and Georgia State's Grace Lanier have done it off the bench.
