Nadine Soliman and Chloe Winink lead the way for each side. With three straight 20-plus point games, Soliman has elevated her game, following somewhat of a scoring drought early on in conference action. On the heels of Player of the Week honors, the senior guard needs just nine points to further build her UNCG legacy with 2,000 career points. The matchup features a Terriers team that is number one in scoring among SoCon competitors (70.0 ppg), along with the top scoring defense of the Spartans (55.0) that also sits no. 18 in the country. 

LAST TIME OUT
The Spartans recently made the in-state trek to Cullowhee, N.C. for a matchup against the Western Carolina Catamounts. The Cats didn't let the Spartans off easy, racing out to a 13-point lead, thanks to solid performances from Jewel Smalls (14pts, 12rebs) and Lauren LaPlant (16pts). Three players reached double-figures for UNCG, including Soliman (26pts), Alexus Willey (15pts) and Te'ja Twitty (12pts, 11 rebs). Willey played more minutes (30) than the entire WCU bench combined, and was joined by Tori Powell (5pts) and Amber Redmond (2pts) to outscore the Catamounts reserves, 22-0.
