Demon Doings
DePaul looks to start the season 2-0 for the second-straight season and third time in the last four seasons after a convincing 73-52 win over Mercyhurst in Wednesday's opener at Wintrust Arena.
In the victory, DePaul used a 20-2 second quarter run to power past the vising Lakers. Jorie Allen led all scorers with 21 points on 65-percent shooting from the field to go with nine rebounds while junior guard Taylor Johnson-Matthews netted a career-high 17 points on the day.
The Blue Demons exploited the height advantage, dominating points in the paint 32-8 and outrebounding the Lakers 47-22. On the boards, DePaul owned 20 offensive rebounds while holding Mercyhurst without a second-chance opportunity all contest.
Saturday's matchup begins a rugged November stretch for DePaul which will face five NCAA Tournament teams from a season ago in its next six contests.
Jill M. Pizzotti is 1-0 as interim head coach of the Blue Demons.
Princeton Notes
The Tigers, receiving votes in both the Associated Press and USA Today Coaches polls, are 0-1 after dropping their season opener to Duquesne on the road, 76-66.
Picked to win the Ivy League, Princeton has won six-consecutive conference titles and bring back 12 returners from a team that went 25-5 a season ago. Junior guard Madison St. Rose leads the back court after averaging 14.8 points per game in 2023-24 in addition to being the Tigers top three-point threat with 49 triples as a sophomore.
Carla Berube is in her sixth season leading the Princeton program and is 100-18 overall.
Series Stuff
Saturday's matchup is the fourth all-time between the two programs and the first in a home-and-home agreement with DePaul set to make the return trip in 2025-26.
The Blue Demons hold a 3-0 advantage in the previous meetings including an 82-67 win the last time the two sides squared off on November 22, 2018 in Cancun, Mexico.
