Quick Hits

What a win will do
A win will give Southeast its first three-game win streak since beating Jacksonville State, Tennessee Tech and Harris-Towe in late January and early February of 2009.
 
A win will give the Redhawks its first victory over Eastern Kentucky since Feb. 10, 2011, a 64-57 victory in Cape Girardeau.
 
Now Trending
Senior Jordan Hunter has been heating up over the last six games, averaging 17.0 points per game. She leads the squad during OVC play with 14.6 points per game. The New Zealand native has led the Redhawks in scoring five times this year and eleven times over the last two seasons. She has also averaged 4.3 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game over that same span.
 
Southeast has won back-to-back games for the first time since Jan. 5 & 7 of last season, when the Redhawks beat Austin Peay and Murray State. 
 
Five in Double Figures
For the second time this year, Southeast placed five players in double-digit scoring. The first time came Dec. 12 against Illinois Springfield. The second time came in Monday's victory over SIUE.
 
Second Half Surge
The Redhawks put their patented second half surge on display in its victory over SIUE scoring 49 points. However, the season has shown that Southeast shots much better in the second half. In the first half of games this year, the Redhawks score 571 points (28.55 points per game/half) while the second half shows an increase to 712 points (35.6 points per game/half).
 
Chasing the Record Book
Junior Allyson Bradshaw is making her mark in the record books. The Cape Girardeau native has made 111 3-point field goals in her career, which ranks fifth all-time.  To move into fourth place, Bradshaw needs five makes to tie Paula Corder-King who played from 1998-2000. At her current pace of making 1.4 3-point field goals per game, Bradshaw should threaten to be the most prolific long-range shooter in Southeast history, chasing a total of 174 set by Julie Meier from 1991-95.
 
Mack is climbing the record book at Southeast as well. As of Jan. 31, the senior ranks fifth in school history with 754 rebounds. Renee Rogliardi is fourth all time with 766 career rebounds from 1983-87.
