Shea Tripp turned in a pair of impressive offensive performances at Northern Michigan and Michigan Tech to open GLIAC play. In the first league game of the season at NMU this past Thursday, Tripp totaled 26 points on 9-of-17 shooting, including 4-of-7 on three pointers. The junior also dished out three assists and recovered seven rebounds against the Wildcats. During Wayne State's first conference win of the campaign at MTU, Tripp registered a second 20+-point game with another 26-point effort at MTU this past Saturday. She also collected 11 total rebounds to notch WSU's second double-double of the campaign, along with two assists and three steals in 35 minutes. The consecutive 20+-outings by Tripp during the pair of road games was the first back-to-back 20-point contests since February 4 and February 9, 2023, when Tripp scored 25 at Northern Michigan and 27 at Ferris State.
