THE STARTING FIVE
(1) Millersville enters today's game with 10-straight wins over  Mansfield. The Marauders had their 10-game winning streak over East Stroudsburg snapped on Wednesday at Koehler Fieldhouse by a score of 65-58. The Mountaineers, however, have only defeated a Mary Fleig team twice in  44 meetings with their last win in 2006 at Decker Gymnasium. The Mountaineers, 3-55 all-time against Millersville, have never won at Pucillo Gymansium.

(2) The Marauders trailed Mansfield in the first meeting on Jan. 28 by five points in the first half. In the second half, Millersville dominated the final 20 minutes to outscore the Mountaineers 43-26 for a 71-59 victory. The Marauders went on a 25-7 run to start the second half. Aurielle Mosley scored a team-high 22 points and 10 rebounds. Sophia Waters hit a career-high eight field goals for 18 points off the bench.
 
(3) Mashira Newman scored a game-high 19 points for Millersville on Wednesday at ESU after being held under double-figures for two consecutive games. Newman now has 1,049 career points, which moves her to 14th all-time in school history. Mosley collected her 15th double-double of the season with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Mosley is now 45 points away from 1,000 with three regular season games and at least one postseason game.

(4) Millersville will recognize its three seniors in between the women's and men's games for their last regular season home game. Carrie Sheffey, Gabrielle Styles and Sophia Waters will be competing in their last game as a Marauder at Pucillo Gymnasium. The three players combined for 260 games played and 144 career starts over the last four season.

(5) The Marauders close out the regular season on the road against Shippensburg (2/22) and Bloomsburg (2/25). Millersville is locked into its 16th-straight PSAC Tournament bid and will likely take the third seed unless they are able to close out the season with three wins and West Chester falters in one of their final games.

ABOUT MANSFIELD
