WYSOCKY NOW EIGHTH IN POINTS, SECOND IN REBOUNDS ALL-TIME AT TECH

It was the 12th double-double of the season for the 6-0 forward, who averages team highs of 15.0 points and 9.8 rebounds. Wysocky has run her career totals to 1,199 points and 734 rebounds. She's tied for eighth all-time on the points list and is second on the rebounding chart. The school record in each category is 1,856 and 866, respectively.

STREAM MOVES PAST THE 1,000 POINT MARK
Junior Sarah Stream recorded her 1,000th point this past Saturday (Feb. 21) against No. 5 Hillsdale. The 5-7 junior recorded a career-high 24 points in the game, which advanced her all-time point total to 1,023. Stream is the second Tech player this season to reach the 1,000-point plateau as Katie Wysocky did it back on Jan. 10 vs. Tiffin.

ZIMMERMAN THE NATIONAL LEADER IN 3-POINT PERCENTAGE!
Junior Katie Zimmerman leads all of NCAA Division II in 3-point field goal percentage at 50.0. The 5-6 guard is 75-of-150 from behind the arc this season. She averages 3.0 3-point makes per game, which is 15th in the country. Zimmerman already owns Michigan Tech school records for 3-pointers in a game (six), season (78) and career (188). She will look to reset the season record this weekend by adding to her 75.

DANEN ONE AWAY FROM BLOCKS RECORD
Junior Danae Danen has a team-high 48 blocked shots on the season — just one shy of Carie Pejka's 1990-91 record of 49. Danen's average of 1.9 blocks per game ranks third in the GLIAC. The 6-0 center tallied 45 blocks last year and presently has 117 in her career. Tech's record for career blocks is 148, also held by Pejka.

HUSKIES ACCOMPLISH PROGRAM'S 13TH 20-WIN SEASON
Michigan Tech, with its win over Findlay last Thursday (Feb. 19), reached the 20-win plateau for the 13th time in the women's basketball program's history. It is the second straight 20-win campaign for the Huskies as they turned in a 23-8 record a year ago. The school record for wins in a season is 30, set in 1992-93. All 13 20-win seasons have come in the last 19 years (since 1990-91). Tech is currently on a 20-year streak of winning seasons since 1988-89, with a 444-167 (72.7 pct).

SERIES HISTORY
Michigan Tech trails in the all-time series with Lake Superior State. Tech is 36-39 all-time vs. Lake Superior State after beating the Lakers 74-56 one month ago in Houghton (Jan. 24). The Huskies are 34-31 vs. Saginaw Valley State after having won the last three straight matchups including a 91-43 decision over the Cardinals in Houghton Jan. 22. See page 4 for complete series history.

HEAD COACH JOHN BARNES
Sixth-year Michigan Tech head coach John Barnes owns a 117-49 (.705) career record. Barnes led the 2007-08 Huskies to their first GLIAC North Division title and GLIAC Tourney title since 2001. He was named GLIAC Coach of the Year in 2005-06.
