MONMOUTH, Ore. – The Western Oregon women's basketball team returns to action this week as the Wolves travel to Lacey, Wash., to face Saint Martin's in a conference contest on Saturday, January 14, at 7:00 p.m.

The Wolves enter the contest with a mark of 2-4 in conference play, 3-13 overall, after Western Oregon dropped a pair of games to Simon Fraser and Western Washington last week.
