GAME 18
The Eastern Illinois women's basketball team returns to Lantz Arena as they host Austin Peay in game two of Saturday's doubleheader. Saturday's game will air live on WEIU TV for the second time this season. The Panthers were previously on WEIU TV for their game against Indiana State. EIU hosts the Governors looking to snap a three-game losing streak and earn their second OVC win after dropping their most recent game at Murray State 92-74.
STARS ON THE RISE
The Panthers have been getting some tremendous performances from their freshman class this season especially in the early portion of conference play.
Allison Van Dyke has scored in double-figures in the past four games setting a new career high with 16 points at Murray State. So far this season Van Dyke averages 10.5 points per game.
Jennifer Nehls has been having a great start to the conference season scoring in double-digits in three of the last four games and nearly recording a double-double against Jacksonville State with a career high 17 points and eight rebounds. Nehls averages nine points and 5.2 rebounds in OVC games.
PAR FOR THE COURSE
Senior
Erica Brown had a very good all-around game at Murray State scoring 14 points and recording seven rebounds, and two blocks. Brown's stat line against the Racers is right in line with her season averages as she leads EIU averaging 7.6 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game. Brown ranks third in the OVC for rebounds and blocks per game. In the last four games, she has recorded at least one block while scoring in double-figures in three of the last four games. In that same span, Brown has recorded double-figure rebounds twice earning a double-double at EKU with 18 points and 12 rebounds.
