4 GOO STUFF: Following one of the most productive rookie campaigns for a point guard in program history, So.

I Maryland Eastern Shore. TRANSFER TRAIN S A-CHUGGIN : UAA s four active transfers have all made immediate impacts, with Sr. G Rodericka Ware (Academy of Art) and Jr. G Kian McNair (Portland State) standing out as all-tourney picks at the Seawolf Hoops Classic... Ware began her career at Central Arizona College before earning First Team All- Pacific West Conference honors last year with Art U, posting 17.4 ppg, 4.0 apg and a league-leading 2.8 3FGs made per game... the Lakewood, Wash., native has scored double figures in five of eight games as a Seawolf and has at least three assists in all but one contest, including 19 points, 5 assists and 5 steals against Holy Names...

Stallworth is 3rd on the team and tied for 13th in the GNAC with 2.7 apg dishing a season-high 6 assists against Holy Names and she keyed UAA s 4th-quarter run in the GCI Great Alaska Shootout title-game win over Tulsa with 6 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals... Kuykendall (pronounced KIRK-en-dahl) has played some of the most productive minutes on the team thus far, delivering 10 points (3-6 FG, 4-4 FT), 9 rebounds and 4 blocks against HNU and Western State... the Chicago native and Trinity Valley (Texas) CC transfer ranks 8th in the GNAC with 0.9 blocks per game, while she has shot 9 of 17 (.529) over the last five games and is a perfect 8 of 8 at the foul stripe for the year.
