Warriors Notes
• The Warriors' magic number to clinch a spot in the MAC Commonwealth Championship is four. Any number of Lycoming wins or losses by the sixth-place team (Widener) will lower the number.
• With a win, the Warriors improve to 8-3 in conference play for the first time since 1997-98.
• With a win, the Warriors can reach 14 wins before Feb. 1 for the first time in program history.
• With 1,163 career points, senior Shelby Mueller needs seven more to tie Julia Antonelli (2010-14) for fifth in school history.
• Mueller is one double-double shy of becoming the fifth player in school history to post 10 in a season.
• Sophomore Akilah McFadden is 12 points shy of reaching 500 in her career.
• With 32 made 3-pointers this season, sophomore Morgan Mader is two shy of reaching the top 15 in the school's single-season record book.
