Findlay

After suffering a four-game skid to start 2022, the Oilers have gotten back on track, winning four of their previous five games including three consecutive wins, all against teams with records over .500. Where the Oilers have seen a big difference over the past five games is in the team's ability to control the basketball. From the beginning of the season to January 19th, Findlay turned the ball over an average of 20.4 times per game. Since the Jan. 20 win over Kentucky Wesleyan, the Oilers average five less misques per game at 15.4 per contest.

While senior Sydney Kin has been the leading scorer this year, it is senior Bridget Landin who has taken the reins over this streak. The Ottoville, Ohio native is scoring 16 points per game and is shooting 54% since Janaury 20. The current G-MAC Player of the Week is also grabbing 8.6 rebounds and dishing out more than two assists per game, as well. Kin still leads the squad at 15.5 points per game and grabs 8.9 rebouns per game. She is steadily climbing Findlay's all-time scoring list, currently fifth all-time with 1,394 points. She will likely surpass Audra Mihalic (1,398 | 2007-10) for fourth all-time on Thursday night.

Junior Lauren Hapgood has also stepped up her game over the recent stretch and is scoring eight points per game while making 36% from three-point range. Freshman Janae Hoying is also playing well over the past five games, scoring 7.3 ppg.
