Millersville is 5-0 (3-0 PSAC) after a loss this season and looks to continue that mark tonight against Shippensburg.

(2) The Marauders have struggled offensively this season and now sit 15th in the PSAC in field goal percentage (.363) and just 12th in scoring offense with 61.8 points per game.   Millersville is coming off its worse shooting performance of the season where they shot 28 percent from the field at Kutztown in its 63-57 loss. The Marauders are now 3-6 (2-4 PSAC) when scoring below 60 points in a game this season.

(3) Aurielle Mosley was held under double-digits for just the fourth time this season by the Golden Bears. Mosley finished the game with a season low four points.  Mashira Newman has lead the Marauders in scoring the past two games and has extended her double-figures' streak to four-straight games. Newman was Millersville's lone consistent scorer at going five-for-seven from the field while the Marauders' other four starters combined for nine-of-43 from the field.

(4) Defensively, the Marauders rank in the top four of the PSAC in scoring defense (fourth; 57.6 ppg), field goal percentage defense (second; .367) and three-point field goal percentage defense (third; .274).
