STORYLINE
• The Huskies look  to bounce back after a disappointing 73-57 loss to West Chester last Saturday when they host Millersville in PSAC East action Wednesday night. Bloomsburg is tied for first place in the East (9-6 overall, 5-3 PSAC) entering the game, while the Marauders are 3-5 in the PSAC East and 6-9 overall.

ALL-TIME SERIES
• The Marauders lead the all-time series with Bloomsburg 42-41 entering Wednesday's game, with Bloomsburg holding a 6-4 advantage over the last five seasons. The teams split a pair of meetings a year ago, including an 82-71 Huskies victory at the Nelson Field House on February 10, 2018.

LAST TIME OUT
• Four Huskies scored in double figures in Saturday's loss to West Chester, but Bloomsburg shot just 22-of-59 (37.3%) from the field and 3-of-19 from three-point territory as a team. The Huskies were led by a trio of 14-point performances from Bella Ricci (Etters, Pa./Red Land), Taylor Montana (Berwick, Pa./Berwick), and Emma Saxton (York, Pa./Central York), while Marissa Molnar (Erie, Pa./McDowell) added 10 points. Alyssa Mack (Walnutport, Pa./Allentown Central Catholic), the Huskies leading scorer entering Saturday's game, was held to just four points on 1-of-8 shooting from the floor.

THE HUSKIES AT A GLANCE
• Defense has been the calling card for the Huskies this season, as they rank second in the PSAC in opponent's field goal percentage (37.3%) and three-point percentage (25.3%). Bloomsburg allows just 61.3 points per game, which ranks fourth in the conference. The Huskies have been excellent behind the arc, ranking 4th in the PSAC in three-point percentage (34.0%). Individually, Mack leads the league in three-point percentage (41.7%), and is 11th in the conference in made triples per game (2.0).

• Despite the off-shooting afternoon Saturday, Mack leads the team in scoring at 13.7 points per contest this season. The senior leads the PSAC in three-point shooting (41.7%) and is  sixth in the conference in free throw percentage (84.0%). Entering Wednesday's contest, Mack is just 22 points away from reaching the 1,000-point milestone for her career.

• Montana has been a force around the basket for Bloomsburg this season, ranking ninth in the conference in rebounds per game (7.8) and fifth in blocked shots (18). The junior is also second on the team in scoring, pouring in 12.7 points per game. 

SCOUTING MILLERSVILLE
• Millersville comes into this game winners of two straight after a pair of home PSAC East victories over Shippensburg and Mansfield last week. Lauren Lister scored a team-high 24 points and tallied six steals against Shippensburg on Wednesday, while Kendra Bamberger posted 12 points, eight rebounds, and three helpers on Saturday's win over Mansfield. Lister has been Millersville's leading scorer each of the last three games and 12 of the 14 games she has played in this season. She ranks third in the PSAC in points per game (21.4), fourth in shooting percentage (51.6), tied for eighth in steals per game (2.1) and tied for sixth in minutes per game (35.2). Courtney Dimoff chips in 8.8 points and 3.1 assists per game, while Bamberger leads the team in rebounds at 7.5 per contest. As a team, Millersville currently ranks seventh in the conference in shooting percentage (41.5) and 3-point percentage (30.7). The Marauders are 12th in the PSAC in scoring offense (65.8), and 10th in scoring defense (69.3). Millersville has struggled on the glass this season, ranking 15th in the league in rebounding margin (-3.5).
