ABOUT THE GAME

• Millersville looks to continue its strong play in a rematch against Bloomsburg on the road this Saturday. The two teams faced off 13 days ago in Pucillo Gymnasium, in what was the Marauders' first game of the New Year after a number of postponements. 'Ville was down by seven points at the end of the third quarter before surrendering a 17-point fourth to the Huskies, while only putting up seven fourth-quarter points of their own. Since then, the Marauders have won two Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) games and posted a season-high in points. 

SCOUTING THE MARAUDERS

Lister had nine points against Bloomsburg earlier this season.
• Makiah Shaw had her best offensive game of the season in the Marauders' overtime victory. She recorded 15 points, including a game-tying three-pointer to send the game into overtime.
