Westfield's win was their 11th straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 22-5. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 52.9 points over those games. As for College Park, their victory bumped their record up to 19-11.

Rebounding is likely to be a big factor in this contest: Westfield has been crashing the boards this season, having averaged 28.2 boards per game.
