MADISON, N.J. (November 20, 2007) – Junior guard Dani Dudek notched a double-double on Tuesday night with 11 points and a game-high 13 rebounds as the Stevens Institute of Technology women's basketball team defeated Fairleigh Dickinson University by an 80-67 count in Madison, N.J. Stevens also received a strong offensive showing from freshman forward/guard Victoria Webber,  who notched a game-high 23 points while grabbing eight rebounds. With the decision, the Ducks and Devils both sport identical records of 2-1.

After being up 32-31 at the half, Stevens fell behind by a point on a jumper by FDU sophomore forward Courtney Young (Bayonne, N.J.) with 19:41 remaining. The Ducks responded with a 9-1 run in the next two minutes. Sophomore forward Brittany Fuller sparked the streak with a trifecta. Webber capped it off with a three-ball of her own at 17:21.
