They lost eight out of their last 13 games.Stewart spoke to the press in a pregame media conference and was asked for her thoughts on the improvements she'll bring to her team."I think just energy, length, defensive presence, like just bringing us the versatility back on both ends to kind of pick up our pace a little bit, make sure we get rebounds so then we can get out and actually do what we do and run," Stewart said on Monday.Stewart's return will have an impact on the Liberty's guards. Her presence would draw defenders to her and help the guards get good looks from the perimeter. Stewart would also be an asset in defensive plays and in collecting rebounds.The New York-Connecticut game will be held at Barclays Center at 7:00 p.m. ET and will be available to stream on Liberty Live.
