- The Lady Bulldogs will take on Cameron on the road in Lawton, scheduled to tipoff at 5:30 pm the evening before Thanksgiving

SWOSU Notes
- SWOSU barely notched an 80-point performance last Saturday against Henderson State, making it three out of four games this season they have scored at least 80 points -- their exact average on the season through four games (80.0 ppg)
- The Dawgs' shooting dropped off last week against Ouachita after the offense was held to a season low 68 points and 32.3% shooting, but SWOSU bounced back against Henderson to shoot 41.3% as a team for their third time in four games shooting above 40% from the field 
- Hailey Tucker made it three consecutive games scoring at least 20 points following her 23-point performance against HSU, despite shooting just 2-for-10 in the first half
- Taber Beer gave SWOSU a lift off the bench, scoring a career best eight points against the Reddies on Saturday on a perfect 2-for-2 mark from beyond the arc
- Penina Faumui is nearly an eight-point scoring guaruntee after another eight points against HSU, having totaled eight points in three of SWOSU's four games on an efficient 62.5% shooting 
- Averaging just 21.8 minutes on the floor as part of the starting unit, Bethany Franks still leads the team in rebounding with 7.3 boards per game (and 8.8 ppg)
- SWOSU is finding success at the free throw line, averaging 26.5 trips to the charity stripe every game, while knocking them down at a 74.3% clip (78-of-105)

Looking Ahead
- SWOSU will return home on Saturday for another non-conference game against Northeastern State at 2 pm inside the PCEC
- Next week, the Lady Dawgs will hit the road to Arkansas to take on Arkansas Tech and Harding in more GAC action
