LINDENWOOD NOTES:
- Lindenwood takes on the top-ranked team in NCAA DII at Drury. Drury has won every game this season and fell in the Elite Eight in the 2018-19 NCAA Championship, their lone loss of that season. Drury sits atop the GLVC standings while Lindenwood is sixth in the GLVC Point Ratings System. 
- Lindenwood overcame a 17-0 run to defeat Southwest Baptist 72-68 on Thursday. The Lions trailed SBU by five points heading to the fourth quarter, but Lindenwood scored 21 points in the fourth while holding the Bearcats to 12 points to capture the GLVC win.
- Devin Fuhring is shooting 19-51 from three this season (.373). She is on pace to make 54 three-pointers this season, which would be the third-best single-season total in Lindenwood history. Kassidy Gengenbacher made 58 threes in 14-15 and 69 threes in 15-16. 
- The Lions have the fourth-fewest fouls in NCAA DII with 161 and the sixth-fewest turnovers at 156.
- Lindsay Medlen is excelling in her senior campaign. The point guard leads the GLVC in assists per game (5.8) as well as assist-to-turnover ration (2.89). 
- Earlier this season, Kallie Bildner grabbed her 856th career rebound, setting the Lindenwood mark for career rebounds. The senior now has 898 career rebounds, third among all active NCAA DII student-athletes. 
- Against Pittsburg State on November 13, Bildner scored 35 points, the most scored by a Lion in the NCAA era of Lindenwood Athletics. The Lindenwood record for points in a game in the NAIA is 41 points. 
- The Lions are led by second-year head coach Katie Falco. She joined Lindenwood after spending the previous 10 seasons as an assistant coach at NCAA DI South Dakota State.
