Matchup

West Virginia Wesleyan Women's Basketball heads back into the Mountain East Conference schedule on Wednesday, traveling to the capital city to take on Charleston. The Golden Eagles are currently tied for first place, sitting at 5-1 in the MEC. The Lady Bobcats have lost their last seven games, and they will look to get their fourth win on Wednesday.

Key Statistics

Charleston holds the best defense in the MEC, giving up an average of only 63.1 points per game.
Charleston is second in the MEC in both field goal and three-point shooting percentages, 46.3% and 36.3%, respectively.
Wesleyan's Brittany Stawovy is seventh in three-pointers made per game, and three-point shooting percentage, 2.5 and 37.3% respectively. 

Storylines

The Lady Bobcats have lost seven in a row, but are not falling in the same fashion every game. They have been in tight one-possession games scoring in the 50's and 60's, and have a loss scoring as many as 80 points. The Lady Bobcats need consistency, and depth help off the bench. Over the course of the seven games, scoring spurts have come from Brittany Stawovy, Nicole Gilyard, Courtney Wilfong, and Cierra Tolbert. In order to beat the Golden Eagles, Coach Vicky Bullett needs strong performances out of those four and a supporting cast.
