The Wolves are set to play the Pacific University Boxers for the first time this season this Sunday, January 3 at 3pm in the WEC.
The lady Wolves are still looking for their first win of the season, and it might be achieved against Pacific University. With their current 1-win streak, the Boxers are also hoping for a win to keep their streak going.
While the Wolves have been practicing hard to build their power on the court, there are several athletes to keep an eye on, as they continue to try to lead the team to victory. Current leading scorer is
Christina Thermidor, with 38 field goals for the team thus far. A powerful leader on and off the court, Christina is sure to give the Boxers a run for their money. Rising star
Grace Wallace is also an athlete to watch, as she leads the team in blocking; with 7 total blocks this season, she is only getting better.
The Boxers also boast impressive athletes on their roster this year. Leading the team in field goals is athlete Sarah Kurl, scoring 70 points during the season thus far. Player to watch is Karli McHone, as she's shot 23 3-pointer's this season, far more than any other athlete on the team.
Averaging 41.4 points per game for WWU and 63.5 points per game for Pacific University, the Wolves are definitely picked to be the underdog in this upcoming game. However, the turnover rate for WWU says otherwise. Wolves boast an average of 35.2 rebounds per game, while the Boxers average 35.1.
Two underdog teams go head to head in a game you're not going to want to miss. Welcome in the new year by cheering on the lady Wolves against Pacific University this Sunday at 3pm!
