THE STARTING FIVE
(1) Millersville is playing in its third game in five days after it traveled to Cheyney on Monday for a makeup game that was cancelled on Jan. 11. The Marauders routed the Wolves by a score of  66-49. Millersville is now 5-0 after a loss this season. The Marauders are now 7-0 (5-0 PSAC) when scoring more points off turnovers than its opponents after holding a 23-12 margin in that category against Cheyney.

(2) Redshirt junior Aurielle Mosley has now scored in double-figures in seven-straight games after putting up a game-high 17 points at Cheyney. Redshirt freshman Carly Gallagher also has a double-figure streak of four-straight games since coming back from injury where she missed nine-straight games.

(3) Millersville has struggled from the field this season to rank second to last in the PSAC in field goal percentage (.370). Their scoring offense has dropped to 14th in the conference averaging just 60.8 points per game. On the flipside, the Marauders' scoring defense is ranked fifth in the conference holding opponents to just 58.2 points per game. Millersville's field goal percentage defense is ranked third in the PSAC holding opponents to just .369 from the field.  

(4) Mosley still leads the conference in both total rebounds (154), rebounds per game (11.0), total blocks (38) and block shots per game (2.7). Mashira Newman's 42 steals (3.0 per game) rank her second in the PSAC, just behind Mansfield's Mallory Moore (45 / 3.2). The Marauders as a team are shooting just .607 (148/244) from the charity stripe this season which is only better than Cheyney's  .564 in the conference. Millersville has seen games slip away because of its struggles at the foul line this season.

(5) Millersville faces East Stroudsburg for the 68th time tonight with the Marauders holding a 44-23 edge. Head Coach Mary Fleig has a 33-10 all-time record against the Warriors, including a 2-0 record against current ESU head coach Maureen Smith.  Fleig held a 16-game winning streak from1998-2006, and currently have Millersville on a nine-game winning streak since 2008.
