Gustavus heads into the contest with a 5-2 overall record and 2-1 mark in the MIAC, while Macalester enters the game at 5-4 overall and 1-2 in the conference. LAST TIME OUT Gustavus most recently earned a 71-63 victory over Bethel University on Wednesday evening at Gus Young Court. The Gusties jumped out of the gates quickly, and Mikayla Miller hit three first quarter three-pointers, including one with time expiring to give the Gusties a 19-11 lead after 10 minutes. Unfortunately for the home squad, Miller and Miranda Rice each accumulated two fouls in the first quarter, which forced them to sit for almost the entire second. However, the Gustie bench was up to the challenge and helped build a 17-point advantage going into the fourth quarter. There, Bethel went on an 18-6 run to cut the Gustie lead to 60-55 with 5:36 to play in the contest. It was then that Hannah Howard and Lindsey Johnson each notched a pair of free-throws on consecutive possessions to bring the lead back to nine, and from that point, the Gustie lead never dipped below six. Macalester most recently suffered a 76-50 defeat at the hands of No. 6 St. Thomas on Wednesday in St. Paul. The Tommies capitalized on a 23-7 first quarter scoring margin to set the tone. Macalester battled back in the second, outscoring St. Thomas 16-11 and entered the half trailing by just 11, however, the Tommies put together another 23-7 scoring advantage in the third to break away for good and secure the 26-point victory.

In addition to quality on the floor, her squads have also been strong in the classroom, with four players earning CoSIDA Academic All-District honors including one Academic All-American. Following the 2012-13 season, the Gustavus women s basketball team achieved a significant milestone when the Women s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) announced its Academic Top 25 Team Honor Roll following the year.
