GAME 27
Eastern Illinois opens its final homestand of the season on Saturday as the Panthers host Little Rock in the first of three consecutive home games.  EIU hosts Morehead State next Thursday and then Southern Indiana for senior night on Feb. 21.  The Panthers wrapped up a three-game road swing on Tuesday night with a loss at Western Illinois dropping the Panthers to 4-22 overall, 3-12 in the OVC.  The Panthers host a Little Rock team that is playing its final season as an OVC member.  The Trojans are currently in the middle of the OVC pack following a loss on Thursday at Western Illinois.  Little Rock enters at 12-13 overall, 8-7 in the OVC.

CLARA GLAD PLAYING IRON WOMAN MINUTES
Clara Glad has become the one constant in the Panthers very unstable season as the junior guard is the lone EIU player to appear in all 26 games this season making starts in all of those contests.  Recently she has become an iron woman for EIU logging the fourth most minutes per game in OVC contests and now 11th most minutes overall in the OVC covering all games.  Glad is the team leader in steals with 35 while averaging 7.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game.  She has eight double figure scoring games with her most recent at Tennessee Tech with ten points.  Glad's season high is 16 points against North Dakota State with a high of five steals against Tennessee Tech at home.

ARROYO OFF THE BENCH
Sophomore Adriana Arroyo came off the bench and knocked down 3-of-3 shots from 3-point range on Tuesday at Western Illinois.  Arroyo finished with nine points marking the second time she has scored nine points with three made 3-pointers (Dec. 18 vs Lindenwood).  Her season high is 12 points in the road win at Bellarmine going 4-of-6 from outside the arc.  Tuesday's game marked the third time in the last four games that Arroyo has scored eight or more points off the bench as she has 18 of her 22 made field goals this year coming as 3-pointers.  

LUNE WITH A SOLID GAME
Ella Lune finished tied as EIU's leading scorer in Tuesday's game at Western Illinois scoring nine points to go with six rebounds.  It was the second straight solid performance for Lune after scoring 14 points with a season high eight rebounds last Saturday at Tennessee Tech.  Lune has a pair of double figure games this season with 16 points at both Illinois State and Butler.  She has just missed double figure games in three other contests scoring nine points at Western Illinois on Tuesday, earlier this year at UT Martin and on Jan. 31 against Southeast Missouri.
