DETROIT -- The Wayne State University women's basketball team (10-15 overall, 5-14 GLIAC) will conclude its road slate at Malone on Feb. 18 (6 p.m.) before finishing regular-season play at home vs. Walsh (Feb. 20) and Findlay (Feb. 25).

IN THE RANKS 
Through games of Feb. 18, WSU was ranked in the top-75 nationally in four statistical categories.  The Warriors were 58th in opponent three-point field goal percentage (29.0%), 65th in total steals (226), 71st in total rebounds (980) and 72nd in field goal percentage (41.9%).  Individually, senior Ashley Wilson was ranked 49th in free-throw percentage (84.4%), while classmate Brittany Streetman was 51st in total steals (55) and 83rd in steals per game (2.20).  Sophomore Shannon Wilson was 53rd in assist/turnover ratio at 1.91.

In GLIAC games through Feb. 18, the Warriors were second in both field-goal attempts per game (63.3) and in opponent three-point field goal percentage (28.9%), fourth in rebounds per game (39.2), defensive rebounds per game (27.2) and offensive boards per game (12.0), and fifth in both blocks per game (3.4) and opponent field-goal percentage (39.6%). 

LAST WEEK'S RECAP
Wayne State dropped a league road contest, 58-40, at Lake Erie on Feb. 11, as GLIAC teams hit the halfway point of the second round of divisional play.  The Warrior defeat coupled with wins by Northwood and Northern Michigan, eliminated WSU from GLIAC post-season possibilities.  Brittany Streetman led the team with 12 points, while Payton Birchmeier added 11 points.  Shannon Wilson grabbed 11 rebounds and dished out a team-high two assists. 

WSU battled sixth-ranked Ashland University (24-1 overall, 18-1 GLIAC) nearly even for over 24 minutes on the Eagles home court (AU led 45-43), before a scoreless drought of 7:30 allowed the hosts to build up a 23-point advantage (66-43) on Feb. 13.  The Warriors again played even with Ashland over the final 8:30, outscoring the hosts 17-15 but fell 81-60 as AU posted its 25th consecutive victory at Kates Gymnasium.  India Hawkins paced Wayne State's offense with a career-high 17 points, while Streetman tallied 13 points. 

CENTURY MARK IN GAMES PLAYED
On Jan. 3, seniors Brittany Streetman and Kristen Long became just the eighth set of teammates in school history to reach the 100-game played plateau in the same season.  The last duo was Deanna Crumpton and Phaebre Colbert three years ago. The first set was WSU Hall of Famer Pearly Cunningham and Ann Roy in 1985-86.  The 1994-95 squad had three teammates in Wendy Winter, Missy Cochran and Jennifer Berrios to reach the century plateau.

WSU has played 116 games over the last four seasons compiling a 78-38 record.  Streetman and Long both played in every game as freshmen, their junior season and this year.  They each missed games as a sophomore -- Long (1/9 vs. Hillsdale, 1/11 vs. Findlay) and Streetman dressed but did not play (12/18 at Ashland).  The Jan. 3 game at Ferris State was the 100th game they both had played in together.

According to the NCAA Division II women's basketball active career leaders, Streetman is tied-for-17th in games played and Long is tied-for-21st.  On Feb. 11 at Lake Erie, Streetman passed Lisa Gentry (1981-85) in career games played to set a WSU school record.  Long also passed Gentry to rank second on Feb. 13 at Ashland. 

Long became the 31st player in school history to play 2,000 career minutes in the Tiffin contest on Jan. 14, while Streetman was the 32nd Warrior to accomplish this feat against the Dragons. 

Streetman is ranked sixth in school history with 138 made three pointers, while Long is 17th with 194 assists.  

SCOUTING THE PIONEERS
Malone has won two of its last four contests and begins the week after an 75-42 loss to Ohio Dominican on Feb. 13.  Junior guard Rachel Goddard leads MU in scoring (13.3 points per game) and assists (101), while freshman guard Chrissie Vaughan has drained a team-high 56 triples.  Senior forward Bri Libertore has a team-best 155 rebounds and is shooting .496 (70-141) from the field. 

SCOUTING THE CAVALIERS 
Walsh enters Thursday's contest at Findlay on a five-game winning streak.  The Cavaliers suffered their last loss (72-66) at home to Wayne State on Jan. 30.  Senior guard Kelsey Funderburgh leads WU in scoring (14.4 points per game), steals (54) and triples (61). Sophomore forward Alex Hechstedler is second in scoring (10.5 points per game), while junior guard Brooklyn Wooten leads the Cavaliers with 80 assists. 

ALL-TIME SERIES
Wayne State has a 6-1 advantage in the all-time series against Malone, including a 3-0 mark at MU's Osborne Center.  The Warriors have won the last three meetings, including a 71-63 victory inside the Matthaei last month (Jan. 28).  WSU's only loss (61-53) to the Pioneers was in a 2014 GLIAC Semifinal contest. 

The all-time series against Walsh is tied at 3-3, which began in Feb. 2013.  The Warriors bounced back and won, 72-66, the last meeting on the road last month (Jan. 30).  Wayne State holds a 2-1 record in the Matthaei winning both contests by 10 or more points (79-57 and 97-87). 

STREETMAN HITS A MILESTONE
Playing in her 100th career game on Dec. 30, senior Brittany Streetman moved into eighth place on the WSU all-time list for three-pointers made with three triples against Cedarville.

Streetman passed Hall of Fame guard Ebony Vincent (2000-04) for sixth place by making three shots from behind the arc on Feb. 11 at Lake Erie.  Streetman needs six triples to tie Shay Lewis for fifth-place with 144.  Jodi Young (2002-04) ranks fourth in three-pointers made with 146.

This season, Streetman is averaging a team-high 13.4 points per game and is shooting 33.6 percent (47-for-140) from beyond the arc.  She has scored in double figures 19 times this year and tallied a then career-high 26 points against Lewis on Dec. 20.  The 40-point effort at Findlay on Feb. 1 marked her fifth game this year of at least 20 points.  Streetman ranks 13th in school history (min. 30 made) with a 33.3 career three-point field goal percentage (138-414).  She has 12 games with multiple triples, including a career-best seven vs. the Oilers.

CONSISTENT LEADERSHIP
Head coach Carrie Lohr is in her fifth season and has an 90-52 (.634) record at WSU, along with a 256-158 (.621) career mark.  The Jan. 2 game at Grand Valley State marked her 400th contest as a collegiate head coach (272 at SC4 and 142 currently at WSU).  Lohr is the second coach to lead the Warriors to the NCAA Tournament, but the first coach to have its squad earn an NCAA Tournament bid three straight seasons, including an appearance in the Midwest Regional Championship game in both 2013 and 2014. 

LOOKING BACK AT 2015-16
Seven of WSU's 15 losses have been by eight points or less, and over five of the last seven setbacks the Warriors have been outscored by an average of four points in regulation with two of the defeats coming in double overtime against the top two teams in the GLIAC South Division. 

SHARETA MAKING A STATEMENT OVERSEAS
