  • The Falcons have won three of their last four contests.  Two of those wins have been in convincing fashion, winning by double figures on the road. 
  • Ogechi Nwodo has been a force late in the season.  She now has 129 rebounds on the year and has at least six in each of her last nine games.  Last time out she just missed her third double-double of the month with eight points and 14 rebounds.
 
The Lions
  • The Lions come into action Saturday clinging to the 11th seed in the LSC.
  • Paige Elston and Mar'Shalia Lollie both are averaging in double figures.  Lollie leads the team in rebounds while Elston also leads in assists and steals.
  • They had won four straight before falling 67-55 to Angelo State on Thursday.
