Last Time Out:

In the Blue Devils last contest, the University of Northwestern Ohio erased an 11-point first half deficit to defeat LTU, 69-63, in the final minute.

Scouting the Crusaders:

No. 22-ranked Madonna travels crosstown carrying a 13-6 (12-1 WHAC) record, with the lone conference loss coming against No. 4 Davenport University (Mich.). Of the Crusaders six losses, four have come at the hand of NCAA Division 1 or Division 2 level competition. Michele Hayes leads the way for Madonna, averaging a WHAC best 20.8 points per game. However, three other Crusaders - Lindsey Hernden, Rachel Melcher, and Justice Dean - all average double-digit points. Hernden and Dean are Madonna's key shooters, accounting for 86 of the team's 129 three-pointers this season.

Filling the Box Score:

On Feb. 19, 2014, the last time Lawrence Tech hosted Madonna, the Blue Devils poured in a school-record 116 points.
