NCAA WATCH ...
Sadowski's 62.1% shooting percentage is not only tops in the conference, but it ranks fourth in the country entering action this week. Sadowski has made 144 of her 232 field goal attempts this season and trails only West Liberty's Kierra Simpson (66.3%; 134-of-202), Lewis' Jessica Kelliher (63.7%; 179-of-281), and Alaska-Anchorage's Megan Mullings (62.5%; 170-of-272). Sadowski is one of only seven players in the country to be shooting at least 60% from the field this season.

LEAVING A MARK ON THE PROGRAM ...
Redshirt senior Adreana Sadowski (Fleetwood/Brandywine Heights) became the 21st player (5th under head coach Bill Cleary) in program history to record 1,000 career points when she hit a bucket with 27 seconds left in the third quarter at Cheyney on January 20. She finished the game with 27 points, giving her 1,002 for her career. She had an ever-better performance against Shippensburg, posting a school-record 43 points on 18-of-23 from the field and 7-of-7 from the foul line. With her 20 points against Lock Haven on Saturday, Sadowski now has 1,117 points to move into a tie for 17th place on the school's all-time list with Jamie Kauczka (2002-06). She needs 19 points to surpass Kim Stamm (1992-96) for 16th place. Meanwhile, with her eight rebounds on Wednesday, January 27, against Shippensburg, she became the 14th player in school history to have 1,000 points and 500 rebounds. In the process, Sadowski also became one of only two players in school history with 1,000 points, 500 rebounds, and 150 blocks. Colleen Kegerreis (2005-09) finished her career with 1,313 points, 859 rebounds, and 194 blocks.

MORE ON THE RECORD ...
Sadowski's 43 points broke the previous school record of 39 which was set by Bloomsburg Hall-of-Famer, Theresa Lorenzi, who accomplished the feat on February 13, 1988 in a 115-102 Husky victory at Cheyney. The 43 points tied for the 11th highest single game total in PSAC history and were just five shy of tying the PSAC record of 48 points set by Millersville's Terri Gunder during the 1970-71 season. The 18 field goals were also a program record, eclipsing the previous record of 17 set by Lorenzi on two different occasions (December 10, 1986 and January 31, 1987).

DOUBLE YOUR PLEASURE ...
The loss against West Chester on February 3, marked the third time this season that multiple players recorded a double-double. Sadowski (16 points, 11 rebounds) and Ross (12 points, 10 rebounds) turned the trick against the Golden Rams. Hopkins (12 points, 12 rebounds) and Ross (11 points, 10 rebounds) achieved the feat against Lock Haven on January 16 while three Huskies posted double-doubles - Hopkins, Klunk, and Sadowski - against Mercyhurst on December 4. Meanwhile, the Huskies have also had three games where five players reached double figures in scoring. The latest occurrence came on January 16 when the Huskies defeated Lock Haven. Kristie Costantino (Norristown/Archbishop John Carroll) led the way with 16 while Morgan Klunk (Felton/York Catholic) (15), Mia Hopkins (Pittston/Pittston Area) (12), Alex Ross (Lancaster/Manheim Township) (11), and Adreana Sadowski (Fleetwood/Brandywine Heights) (10) also hit the mark. The Huskies also accomplished the feat against Gannon on December 5 and at Goldey-Beacom on November 17.

SHARP SHOOTERS ...
Bloomsburg enters Wednesday's contest ranked first in the PSAC in shooting percentage (44.5%) and second in the league in free throw percentage (73.9%).

The Huskies have shot better than 50% from the field seven times this season and are 5-2 in those games.

GANTZ KEEP HER DOWN ...
Freshman Julia Gantz (Havertown/Archbishop John Carroll) had a strong game in the loss at Mansfield on February 6, posting 15 points on 6-of-11 from the field and 3-of-6 from long range. It was her third double-digit scoring effort of the season, but her first since scoring a career-high 18 points at West Chester on December 16. In the 11 games in between, Gantz had averaged only 4.5 points on 19-of-63 shooting (.302). She is second on the team in points by a rookie, averaging 5.7 points per game this season (Alyssa Mack (Walnutport/Allentown Central Catholic), 6.7). She ranks second on the team with 22 three-pointers but first in shooting percentage from long range (32.8%).
