A rivalry has developed between the Husson University and Castleton State basketball programs over the years and tonight will meet on the Newman Gymnasium court.The rivalry stems form the fact that both the men's and women's teams are seemingly always found at the top of the standings and meeting in big games in the postseason.

The women's game will tip-off at 5:30 and feature the top two teams as Husson enters the game 8-0 and in first place while the Spartans are the number two team with a record of 7-1.

Husson is led by a trio of players from Aroostook County as Kenzie Worcester (Washburn) is averaging 14 points per game, Vicki McIntyre (So. Aroostook) 13 points per game and Chandler Guerrette (Presque Isle) 12 points per game.

Warren Caruso's men's team is also 8-0 in the North Atlantic Conference. Junior Raheem Anderson is having a career season as he leads the team with 23 points per game and has connected on 50 percent of his shots this season.

The Eagles have momentum having won their last 4 games and 7 of their last 8.

A reminder that you can hear both games live on Sports Radio 92.9 The Ticket and 929theticket.com.
