11/18/2025 12:18:00 PM

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Bellarmine University women's basketball team is set for a pair of road games this week, as the Knights will play at 11 a.m. (ET) Wednesday at Wright State before heading to Bradley for a 3 p.m. (2 CT) contest Sunday.

ABOUT WRIGHT STATE
Wright State (3-1) opened the season with a loss at Butler, but the Raiders are currently riding a three-game winning streak. They are coming off a 69-60 home win over Evansville. WSU is averaging 82.3 points per game. Guards Breezie Williams (13.5), who poured in 27 points against Tennessee State, and Rylee Sagester (13.3), who tallied 19 against Evansville, are leading the Raiders in scoring.

ABOUT BRADLEY
Bradley (2-1) will precede its matchup with Bellarmine by playing Thursday at Western Illinois. The Braves most recently fell 75-67 at IU Indy, but they captured a 78-64 home win over DePaul before that. Kaylen Nelson is averaging 19.3 points per game for Bradley. The guard/forward racked up 28 points against DePaul and 21 versus IU Indy, sinking four 3-pointers in each contest. Guard Maya Foz (15.3 ppg) has registered 14 points or more in each game.

KNIGHTS NOTES
• Bellarmine and Wright State are meeting for the 13th time in series history but just the second in the D1 era. Last season in Louisville, the Knights made a miraculous comeback from a 21-point deficit midway through the third quarter en route to a 79-71 win. BU outscored the Raiders 49-28 in the second half. Forcing turnovers and capitalizing on them was the difference for the Knights, who had a 32-14 advantage in points off turnovers, including 21-1 in the second half.
• Prior to last season, the previous 11 meetings between Bellarmine and Wright State all unfolded between 1979-87. It was relatively back and forth, as the longest winning streak for the Knights was two while the Raiders never defeated BU in consecutive games.
• Bellarmine and Bradley will be meeting for the first time.
• Bellarmine is beginning a stretch where it plays eight of its next nine games away from Knights Hall before opening ASUN action Jan. 1 by hosting Queens. Seven of those are true road games and one is neutral site (Nov. 28 vs. East Tennessee State at Louisville). The pre-conference gauntlet includes road outings at Louisville, Illinois, Arizona and Notre Dame after the Knights have already played at Ohio State.
Triniti Ralston, a Southern Indiana transfer, scored 13 points or more in three of the team's four games, including a season-high 21 on Sunday against Miami (OH). The junior point guard has excelled at getting to the FT line, leading the ASUN in FT attempts (36) and makes (30). Her 83.3 FT percentage ranks seventh. Ralston went 12-for-12 from the charity stripe against Miami — she had 11 FT attempts against Spalding.
• Ralston ranks eighth in the ASUN in scoring (14.8), is tied for 11th in assists (3.3) and is tied for 13th in rebounding (6.3).
• Sophomore guard Ava Smith, a transfer from Utah State, is tied for seventh in the ASUN in 3-pointers made (8). Smith is coming off an 11-point effort against Miami.
• Redshirt junior guard Rose Jamison, a transfer Napa Valley College, supplied 10 points against Miami and has scored in double figures in two of four games.
