Series vs the Lady Toppers 
This will be the first all-time meeting between the Bearkats and the Lady Toppers.  

A Look At The Season To Date 
It's been a balanced offensive effort for the Kats so far this year with the team's leading scorer being Diana Rosenthal with an average of 12.4 points per game. However, balance has been the name of the game with five different players leading the team in scoring over the last 13 games. 

Chair of the Boards
In addition to Smith's six double-doubles on the season, the Philadelphia native has been dominating on the glass in non-conference play for the Kats. Smith is leading CUSA with 10.0 rebounds per game but is also second in the nation with 5.6 offensive rebounds per contest. Of her 130 total rebounds this year, 73 have come on the offensive glass, highlighted by 16 offensive rebounds in the Kats' win over Texas College.  

Where They Rank
Raanee Smith is second in the country for offensive rebounds at 5.6 per game. Sam Houston is in the top five in the country in free throws attempted and made, making them dangerous from the line. The Bearkats are sixth in the nation in turnovers forced.
