A LOOK AT UW-STOUT:

• While the Blue Devils saw their winning streak stop at 10 games, they are still off to one of the best starts in school history.  The 1995-96 team season opened the year at 9-0. Stout's best record to start the season was 13-0 to open the 1992-93 season. The 10 game winning streak also matched a mid-season 10-game winning streak during the 2005-06 season.
• Bailey Diersen leads the Blue Devils in scoring with a 18.7 per game average and is second in the WIAC. Diersen has scored in double digits in 10 of the 12 games she has played this year. The senior guard leads the team and the WIAC in steals with 44, swiping 10 against Martin Luther College, one short of the 20-year-old school record of 11, notching her first double-double (19 pts, 10 steals) of the season. Diersen had seven steals against UW-Whitewater. Diersen is averaging 3.67 steals per game, 12th in the NCAA Division III.
• Amber Fabeck has turned her game up a couple of notches this season. The 6-3 post player poured in a career-best 22 points against St. Catherine, then repeated that feat in a comeback win over Ripon College. She broke that mark with a 24 point effort against UW-Whitewater, hitting four 3 pointers.  Fabeck collected her first career double-double with 19 points and 12 rebounds against Albion College. Fabeck is averaging 13.5 points and 5.4 rebounds.
• Kyncaide Diedrich is currently averaging 14.6 points per contest, second on the team and fourth in the WIAC. Diedrich has had two double-doubles this season, both with 19 points and 10 rebounds, against St. Olaf College and Berea College. Diedrich was named the MVP at the North Park University tournament, tossing in 21 points in a win over Albion College, then 19 points against Berea College.  Diedrich was selected as the UW-Stout/Toppers Athlete of the Week, as the WIAC Athlete of the Week and to the D3hoops.com Team of the Week.
