BREAKING OUT: In each of the Bullets' first two conference games, Gettysburg has put together a huge quarter to propel the squad to victory. In the opener against Johns Hopkins last Tuesday, it was a 25-8 fourth quarter that overcame a two-point deficit to win by 15. On Tuesday at McDaniel, a 22-3 third quarter was part of a larger 33-3 run that turned a 20-point deficit into a 10-point lead. In that final quarter against the Blue Jays, the defense forced its opponent into 3 of 15 shooting while going 9-for-15. Against the Green Terror, it was a 1-for-13 showing for the hosts compared to Gettysburg's 10 of 16 quarter from the floor.

CAREERED IT: Mackenzie Szlosek was a huge part of the Bullets' comeback win on Tuesday night. She poured in 19 second-half points, hitting six of her nine field goal attempts, including going 3-for-3 from 3-point range. She also went 4-for-5 from the line to finish with a career-best 24 points.

LAST TIME OUT: Clair Marion recorded her third double-digit game of the year, scoring 11 points to lead Dickinson to a 56-36 Centennial Conference win at Franklin & Marshall College on Tuesday. (Full Recap) (Box Score)

DOING IT WITH DEFENSE: The Red Devils have started the season 3-2 on the strength of their defense. Dickinson enters play tonight ranked ninth in the conference in scoring offense at 51.8 points per game. However, the defense is tops in the league at 49.0 points per game. The Red Devils have scored more than 56 points in a game just once this season - a 66-54 win over Moravian on Nov. 16. Conversely, the Dickinson defense has not surrendered more than 55 in any game this season, including the season-best 36-point defensive effort at Franklin & Marshall on Tuesday.

ROAD WARRIORS: The Red Devils are in the midst of a five-week stretch with just one home game. This is the third straight road game for Dickinson. After starting the conference slate at home against Haverford on Nov. 19, the Red Devils have had to travel to McDaniel, to Franklin & Marshall, and to Gettysburg. The lone home game between that opener and a Jan. 4 game against Johns Hopkins comes this Saturday when Dickinson hosts Swarthmore.
