ON TAP
North Dakota will host its final non-conference home game with a Wednesday night tilt against Mayville State at the Betty Engelstad Sioux Center. UND will then embark on a three-day, three-game tournament at Stetson University Dec. 19-21.
LAST ACTION
Iowa State ran out to a 36-9 lead and never looked back on the way to an 87-35 win in Ames, Iowa. UND's shooting woes continued as the Fighting Hawks were 3-of-24 from deep for the game.
Julia Fleecs scored a career-high 9 points in the loss.
DOUBLE DOZEN DOUBLE-DOUBLES
Klabo had her streak of four consecutive double-doubles snapped at Northern Iowa. She goes into this week with 24 for her career and this season nearly averages a double-double for the season (19.4 ppg, 8.3. rpg).
FLEECS FLOURISHES IN HOME STATE
Iowa native
Julia Fleecs was a bright spot for North Dakota Sunday at Iowa State. The sophomore forward registered a career-high 9 points, becoming the first player to lead UND in scoring this season not named
Lexi Klabo.
THE SERIES WITH MAYVILLE STATE
UND and Mayville State have met 32 times in the regular season with the Fighting Hawks claiming the win each time. The last 25 games have all been on UND's home turf, including last season's 82-54 win on Dec. 12.
DIRTY 30s
Lexi Klabo's back-to-back 30-point games at Rhode Island and UMass were historic. Some notes after those performances:
*The last UND player to score 30 points on back-to-back nights was
Ashley Langen, who scored 31 against Augustana on Feb. 11, 2005 then poured in 36 a night later against Minnesota Duluth (at Ralph Engelstad Arena).
*The last UND player to score 30+ more than once in a season was Kierah Kimbrough, who did it in 2008-09 (32 vs. Houston Baptist, 30 vs. Seattle).
*Dating back to last season, Klabo has scored in double figures in 16 consecutive games (9 double-doubles in that span).
*She's scored 30 points or more in three of her last 10 games and has 20-point performances in 11 of her last 15 games.
J.J. HAS CAREER NIGHT AT UNI
Jaclyn Jarnot poured in a career high eight points Tuesday at Northern Iowa, nailing a pair of late triples and hitting two free throws to help UND stage a late comeback.
HALF-DOZEN THREES
North Dakota hit 6-of-14 from deep at Northern Iowa on Dec. 4. It marked the most threes hit this season for UND and at the best percentage.
