SCOUTING THE BADGERS
The University of Wisconsin is coming off of a 70-65 loss to Rutgers on Friday night to fall to 1-2 on the season. Like UND, the Badgers have had two games canceled this non-conference season. UW's lone win was in its season-opener against Western Illinois, 73-66, on Nov. 29. Badger sophomore Sydney Hilliard is one of the country's top-scorer, averaging 24.0 points per game with three 20-point games.
 
DOUBLE-DOUBLE MACHINE?
On the Fighting Hawks Montana trip, senior captain Julia Fleecs recorded back-to-back double-doubles against the Bobcats and Lady Griz, improving Fleecs to five career double-doubles.

The Glidden, Iowa native amassed three a season ago and is the first UND player since Lexi Klabo on Nov. 27-28, 2018, to record double-doubles in consecutive games. Fleecs opened the trip with 16 points and 11 rebounds at Montana State (Dec. 6) and followed up with 22 points and 12 boards against Montana, registering her eighth career 20-point game.

UP NEXT
