Roanoke (9-4, 8-1 ODAC) will take on Randolph (0-15, 0-10 ODAC) in conference action Tuesday, Jan. 25 at 7 p.m. held at the Bast Center. The Maroons are on a three-game win-streak and have won five of their last six outings. The Wildcats are looking to end a 22-game skid dating back to last season.

 

Roanoke holds a 53-4 series lead and riding a seven-game series win-streak against Randolph. The Wildcats have won three of their four meetings against the Maroons since 2004, with their last coming in 2007. Since then Randolph has come within single-digits only once, a 61-55 defeat in December of 2008.

 

Randolph is still in search for its first win of the season. The Wildcats played arguably their best game of the season in a 65-60 loss to Emory & Henry last weekend. It was the first time since Feb. 12, 2010 (against the Wasps) the women had a single-digit game.

 

Lauren French (11.6 ppg) leads the Wildcats in scoring and three-pointers this season with 21. She is followed in the scoring column by Olivia Johnson (10.6 ppg), who leads the Wildcats with 28 assists (2 apg). Sam Sublett averages a team-best 6.8 rebounds per game and her seven blocked shots is also a team-high.

 

Roanoke leads the ODAC in blocks per game (4.8) and in field goal percentage (44.1%). With a win tonight, it will be win #700 for the women's basketball program. The Maroons are 561-204 since entering the ODAC and 405-109 in conference games over that span.

 

Nicci Moats (Blue Ridge, VA, Lord Botetourt) is atop the team leaders in scoring (15.5 ppg), rebounding (10.5 rpg) and blocked shots (42). She is tied for ninth on the single-season blocked shots list and needs only five more to tie her mark from last season, which is third on that list. Her 89 career blocked shots are two shy of passing Donna Cogar '92 for fifth in that category.

 

Jordan Gholson (Louisa, VA, Louisa County) is second on the team in scoring (11.5 ppg) and blocked shots with 11. Her field goal percentage (52.1%) is first in the ODAC, while her free-throw percentage (77.8%) is seventh in the conference. Her school-record 184 career blocked shots is only nine shy of fifth on the ODAC's all-time list. Her 563 career rebounds are currently 11^th on the all-time list at Roanoke. The 16^th member of the 1,000-point club at Roanoke enters tonight's game with 1,032 points.

 

Rebecca Bays (Roanoke, VA, William Byrd) (9 ppg) leads the Maroons in assists with 50 and is third in rebounding (3.6 rpg). She needs eight more assists to move into 15^th on the career assists list at Roanoke. Kendra Porter (Jamestown, NC, Dudley) (7.2 ppg) is second in assists (30) but leads the squad in steals with 33.
