By The Numbers

74.7% - UPEI is currently #1 in the AUS in free throw shooting. With these teams being very evenly matched, this could be a major difference maker. Memorial sits at 69.1% (5^th in the AUS). The team that can make the most of their opportunities from the charity stripe will surely have the edge this weekend.

38.9 – Memorial is the 3^rd ranked rebounding team in the AUS, sitting at 38.9 rebounds per game. UPEI currently ranks last in the league in rebounding. Limiting UPEI's second chance opportunities is expected to be a big factor to the Sea-Hawks success this weekend.

8 – The Panthers hold the 4^th spot in the AUS standings with 20 points on the season. Memorial sits in 5^th spot at 18 points. This weekend's games are worth 8 points in the standings, meaning if either team can register a sweep, it would be a major advantage, as they both aim at capturing the 2^nd overall seed and a first round bye in the playoffs.

Player Spotlight

Brook Wright (Memorial) – Despite the Sea-Hawks home losses last weekend, Wright was a major bright spot. She finished the weekend average 24.5 PPG and 4.5 RPG. Wright will need to continue her strong play to help the Sea-Hawks secure victories this weekend.

Kiera Rigby – Rigby currently leads the AUS in points per game, averaging 19.3/game. She has a well-rounded game, so the Sea-Hawks will have to be aware of her at all times.
