HC Bill Peters Head Coach MARIAN WOMEN’S BASKETBALL NOTES LAST TIME OUT The Sabres hosted nationally-ranked UW-Stevens Point Tuesday, Nov. 26, their fourth straight WIAC opponent to open the 2013-14 season. The Pointers flexed their muscles with a 69-43 victory inside Sadoff Gymnasium. Marian jumped out to a 5-0 lead before UWSP put together a 19-0 run. The Sabres closed the gap slightly, but still went into halftime trailing 31-16. In the second half, the Sabres shot over 52 percent and closed the deficit to nine points midway through the period until the Pointers pulled away. Junior Sarah Olewinski tied a season-high with 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting, while senior Dani Huray added eight points and freshman Jessica Roberts chipped in seven in her first collegiate start. Senior Sarah Albert connected on two three-pointers as well. GAZING AT THE STARS Dominican University enters Saturday with an 0-4 ledger after taking double digit losses in each outing against Knox, Westminster (Pa.), Elmhurst and Albion. The Stars, who were picked to finish last in the NACC Preseason Poll, return one senior to their starting lineup this season along with two freshmen. Senior Katie Budz is third on the team in scoring with 12.2 points per game behind junior Kaylee Paciora’s 13.7 ppg and sophomore Allie Tapanes’ 12.8 ppg. Freshman Alyssa Hernandez is registering a team-high 6.2 rebounds per contest. ALL-TIME VS. DOMINICAN Marian and Dominican will meet for the 17th time in the all-time series. The series is currently deadlocked at 8-8 after the Sabres recorded a 67-61 victory in River Forest back on Dec. 1, 2012. Previous to last year, the Stars were winnes of five straight dating back to the 2010-11 season. STIFF NON-CONFERENCE SCHEDULE The Sabres have faced four Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference opponents to open the 2013-14 season following last week’s meeting against UW-Stevens Point. Marian is allowed to schedule just five non-conference opponents due to a 20-game conference schedule and, this season, all five will be against state schools. The Sabres will face UWOshkosh at Kolf Arena Dec. 18. One of the more dominant leagues among Division III conferences, Marian’s WIAC opponents have combined for a 19-8 mark through Nov. 29. FROM WAY DOWNTOWN Like it did last year, Marian is once again leading the NACC in three’s made and three’s attempted. However, the biggest difference from last year has been the increase in makes and efficiency. The Sabres are averaging 10.5 makes on 24.2 attempts per game in 2013-14 compared to 8.3 makes on 26.3 attempts last year. The Sabres are currently second in the league in three-point percentage at 43.3, a 11.8 percent increase from last year’s squad, which finished fifth in that department. FOR THE 42nd TIME Marian University women’s basketball begins its 42nd season in program history when it faces UW-Stout on the road Tuesday, Nov. 19. The Sabres played their first-ever season under former Head Coach Bruce Prall back in 1972-73.
