* GAME STORYLINES
The Wayne State women's basketball team enters the final two weeks of the regular season having won three of its last four contests, its best four-game stretch of the year, and still alive for a berth in the GLIAC Tournament.

The Warriors will be playing their final two home games this week as they take on Ashland on Thursday before hosting Tiffin on Saturday. A pair of wins would even both season-series at 1-1.

Ashland coach Sue Ramsey has won 328 games in 22 years as a head coach and has won 56 percent of her games (233-183) in her 14 years at Ashland.

Third-year head coach Pam Oswald has a career record of 25-42. Oswald needs two wins to surpass the Dragons' win total from a year ago.
