The Vermont Catamounts earned a first round bye and defeated Niagara 69-63 in the second round of the WNIT. Vermont earned a bye after losing in the America East Championship to Maine 64-48. Vermont defeated UAlbany three times this season, most recently in the American East semifinal 50-46.
The game will feature two of the tougher defensive units in women's basketball.

Vermont currently ranks second in the nation in scoring defense allowing just 52.5 points per game.
Historically, Vermont leads the all-time series 13-4 including the last nine straight. The two teams haven't met in over 12 years, as the last matchup between the Raiders and Catamounts took place in Vermont on Nov. 18, 2011 and saw Vermont win 61-49.
