The All-Time Series (Milwaukee) – For the second game in a row, head coach Charlie Buscaglia will look to win their first game in program history against their current opponent. The Colonials did so vs. IUPUI (1/14), and will look to do so against Milwaukee since entering the Horizon League. All-time, RMU is 0-4 against the Panthers and has played three of the four games on the road.
 
Scouting the Panthers – Milwaukee (6-10, 4-4 #HLWBB), is currently seventh in the Horizon League standings. The opposition started their season with a difficult non-conference schedule, losing to Wisconsin, Marquette, UIC, Nevada, Eastern Ill., and Minnesota. The Panthers did beat Loyola Chicago and Boise State. In their past four games in Horizon League action, the Panthers have lost to Northern Kentucky, Cleveland State and Purdue Fort Wayne. MKE did beat Wright State earlier this month. Under the leadership of Kyle Rechlicz in her 11th season as the bench boss, the Panthers have started eight different players this season. Milwaukee features four players averaging 8.7 to 10.3 points per game. Kendall Nead leads their team in points per game (10.3). Freshman guard Kamy Peppler owns the most assists on the team with 50. And, senior forward Megan Walstad is averaging the most rebounds per game (7.1). She's also the best shooter on the team from the charity stripe, going 25-for-28 (.893). As a team, Milwaukee is shooting (.382) from the field, and (.250) from behind the arc. The Panthers are scoring 56.7 points per night and collected 37.2 boards on average.
