Chicago, Ill. - The Roosevelt men's and women's basketball seasons are in full swing, and both Laker squads lift the lid on Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference action on Wednesday, Nov. 7 against St. Francis at the UIC Physical Education Building (901 W. Roosevelt Road).

The women's game begins at 5:30 p.m., followed by the men's game at approximately 7:30 p.m.

Junior forward Maria Tamburrino averaged 12.0 ppg and 10.5 rpg on a pair of double-doubles to lift the Lakers to a 60-48 road win at Ashford last Thursday and an 81-66 home decision over Clarke this past Saturday.Fellow junior frontcourt standout Jennie Van Hook also notched a double-double against Clarke, turning in 10 points and 10 rebounds on Saturday.

Tamburrino secured the first CCAC Player of the Week honors for the 2012-13 campaign on Tuesday as a result of her efforts last week.
