The Aces, who are looking to bounce back from an 0-3 start, will hoping to get both Camary Williams and Sara Dickey rolling in the same contest this season. Williams, a senior out of Ft. Myers, Fla., recorded 17 points last time out at Ball State, but Dickey, who is just 26 points away from the top scoring mark in school history, was held to eight.
Earlier this week, Dickey enjoyed an 8-for-14 performance against Eastern Illinois, ending with 21 points.
UE will also be looking for further production from the rest of the line-up. Sasha Robinson entered the BSU game averaging a double-double through the first two games of the season, but she was held to just eight points and six rebounds. Brooke Dossett, who kicked off her career with a 12-point first half against Cleveland State, finished Wednesday with five.
The game could prove crucial for the Aces going forward, as it marks the fourth in an nine-day stretch for UE and the last until the team sets out for games at Northwestern, Valparaiso and Murray State after Thanksgiving before returning home next month against Oakland City.
Meanwhile, Southeast Missouri will be coming into Sunday after an impressive performance at Xavier on Friday. The Redhawks dropped a 54-48 decision to the Musketeers. Overall, SEMO is 1-3 on the season, with the lone win a 99-52 decision over an NAIA opponent in Hannibal-LaGrange.
Tipoff on Sunday is slated for 1 p.m.
NOTES: Sara Dickey currently has 1,687 career points. With 26 more, she'd tie Shelly Brand-Adlard (1981-85) for the top mark in school history … The senior is just three three-pointers away from tying Courtney Felke (2004-08) for the top mark in that category … Sasha Robinson, with 634 career rebounds, is 19 away from moving into a tie for fifth all-time with Rebekah Parker (2004-08) and Shannon Novosel (2005-09) … UE is 3-4 all-time against Southeast Missouri, and Sunday marks the first meeting since a 60-58 Aces win in the WNIT in 2008 … UE is 38-59 all-time against Missouri schools.
