Buchanan has already claimed UAA s program records for career 3FGs, season 3FGs (103), and total consecutive games with a 3FG (39) as well... Buchanan got off to a blazing start in the Halloween victory over Cal State Dominguez Hills, coming one 3FG shy of UAA s single-game record in her 28-point (8-10 3FG) explosion... now with 1,235 points, Buchanan has moved into 9th place on UAA s career scoring list, just four points shy of Madison; CHASING RECORDS: Here are where the 2015-16 Seawolves currently rank on the program s all- me career sta s cs lists: POINTS 1.

VITAL VETS: Sr. G Adriana Dent has helped key the Seawolves full-court press this year, ranking 2nd in the GNAC with 2.2 steals per game... the former JC All-American at College of Southern Idaho has shown the ability to impact the stat sheet in multiple categories, with season-highs of 10 points (4-5 FG) at Northwest Nazarene, 10 rebounds against Dixie State and 9 assists against Western Oregon... Dent Dent grabbed 5 steals against Saint Martin s to mark her seventh career effort of at least fi ve swipes, and she added 4 swipes in each of UAA s two victories at the GNAC Tournament... So. F Sierra Afoa has continued her upward trajectory this year, averaging 4.2 ppg and 4.6 rpg... the former Dimond High standout has scored double fi gures four times, with some of her biggest efforts coming in wins over Cal State Dominguez Hills (11 pts, 6-6 FT, 3 asst), Pepperdine (6 pts, 3-6 FG, 5 reb, 2 stl), Western Oregon Afoa (10 pts, 4-4 FG, 6 reb, 2 stl) and Seattle Pacifi c (10 pts, 4-8 FG, 7 reb)... despite coming off the bench in all but one contest, Afoa ranks 21st in the GNAC in rebounding and 11th in offensive rebounding (2.1)... the return of Sr. G Christina Davis from a redshirt campaign has given the already-deep Seawolves even more backcourt riches... the Las Vegas native played in all 28 games as a junior in 2013-14, and Davis she has returned to a major role in the rotation, ranking 8th in the GNAC with 3.6 assists per game, along with 5th in A/T ratio (1.4)... Davis tallied 9 assists and 3 steals in the opener against William Jewell and had 8 assists and 4 steals against Dixie State before breaking out for a huge performance as Most Outstanding Player of the Seawolf Hoops Classic, Dec. 19-20, when the former Gillette (Wyo.) College transfer matched her career-high with 15 points in the 76-72 win over No. 18 UCSD. ROOKIE REPORT: A pair of Alaska-bred redshirt freshmen SG Tara Thompson and F/C Hannah Wandersee have made significant contributions in their rookie campaigns... Wandersee, who led Kodiak to the 2014 4A state title, debuted with 19 total points in just 28 minutes of action in the three games at the Tip-Off Classic... she has emerged as the team s 7thleading scorer (5.2 ppg), while shooting a.524 from Wandersee the floor 4th-best for a rookie in Seawolf history... meanwhile, Thompson poured in 12 points (4-5 3FG) in her first collegiate game against William Jewell and followed with a key threepointer and 4 rebounds to help spark UAA to a big second-half surge in the win over CSUDH... another former Dimond High star, Thompson needs just two more treys to tie Jessica Madison s UAA freshman record (36, 2012-13), while her percentage ranks 5th on the program s rookie list. McCARTHY IN CHARGE: In his fourth season at UAA and fi fth overall as a head coach, Ryan McCarthy has led the Seawolf program to new heights, capturing back-to-back GNAC regular-season titles for the fi rst time and ascending to No. 1 in the national rankings in two consecutive campaigns... the 2014-15 GNAC and NCAA West Region Coach of the Year piloted his 2014-15 club to the best winning percentage in program history with a 29-2 (.935) mark, taking McCarthy the GNAC Tournament title as well... in 2015-16, the Anchorage native is taking his hometown club to the NCAA Tournament for
