Kennedy didn't have too much breathing room in their match against Swett in their previous matchup back in December of 2023, but they still walked away with a 60-54 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Kennedy since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
