RMU AND NORTHERN KENTUCKY HISTORY
The Colonials have struggled against the Norse in their history with only one win in 12 total matchups since 1985. RMU's lone win in the series came on the road during the 2017 season, 59-50.

RMU AND NORTHERN KENTUCKY LAST TIME OUT
The Colonials lost on the road in the first matchup this season, 72-58. Mya Murray had her best scoring game of the season as she had 17 points to lead the team while Isys Grady was right behind her with 16 points. The game was tied at 49 heading into the final quarter as the Norse would then outscore RMU 23-9 in the final frame.

WELCOME BACK
Senior forward Danielle Vuletich returned to the court for RMU after being sidelined with a knee injury for the past eight weeks. Vuletich made her presence felt right away as she scored on her first attempt from the floor and finished the game with eight points and four rebounds in 14 minutes of action. Vuletich spoke after the game about what it meant to back on the floor, "Honestly, I'm just very thankful that I have the opportunity to come out and play these last couple games with them. And getting injured right before New Year's was kind of hard, because I didn't know what was going to happen. But with hard work, and like coach said, never losing who I am, always being a leader, on the bench, on the floor whenever I can, I'm just happy I can play with my girls again."

UP NEXT
The Colonials will go back on the road and faceoff against Cleveland State next Saturday afternoon. Tipoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. and can be seen live on ESPN+.
