THE WOLVES HEADING INTO THE WEEK ...
The Wolves are coming off a pair of wins last week against in-state foes, beating Willamette 57-41 in Salem on Saturday (Cali McClave, Bella Pedrojetti and Kiylynn Dawkins led the Wolves with 14 points apiece with Dawkins adding 12 rebounds) and defeating Lewis & Clark at home 73-49 on Sunday (Dawkins lead the way with 17 points and 14 rebounds).

The Wolves five-game win streak is the longest since 2017 when WOU started the year 5-0. If the Wolves win Saturday, the six wins in a row would be the most since winning nine in a row in 2001.

WOU has excelled this season in sharing and taking care of the ball, ranking in the top 30 in Division II in Assist/Turnover Ratio (11th - 1.17), assists per game (26th - 16.3) and turnovers per game (28th - 13.9). WOU also ranks in the top 10 in rebound margin with a plus 7.0 - tops in the GNAC (WOU also leads the conference rebounds per game at 41.2).

Individually, WOU has three players in the top six in the conference in assists per game in Trinitiy Youngblood (3.8 - third), Cali McClave (3.2 - fifth) and Ana McClave (3.2 - sixth). McClave leasd the team in scoring at 15.8 - sixth in the conference.

Over the Wolves' five-game win streak, Dawkins has four double-doubles (all in the last four games) and ranks second in the conference and 27th in the nation in double-doubles with five. Over her last seven games, Dawkins is averaging 13.8 points, 10.6 rebounds and is shooting 61.8 percent from the field (42-for-68).
