600 or more rebounds. Endress joins Bonzi Wells (2,485

pts./ 843 reb.) of the NBA’s Memphis Grizzlies and two-time

MAC Player of the Year Tamara Bowie (2,091 pts./933 reb.).

•MIAMI STRONG IN THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY:

Since entering the month of February on a five-game los-

ing streak, the Miami RedHawks have won three of their last

four games. Under Maria Fantanarosa, the RedHawks have

never had a losing record in the month, posting an impres-

sive 36-13 (.735) record. Miami is 17-1 in its last 18 games

in the month of February.

•COLEMAN NETS TRIPLE-DOUBLE:

Eastern Michigan’s Ryan Coleman registered the school’s

second triple double on Saturday against Western Michigan.

The senior scored 21 points and added 10 rebounds and 10

assists in the win over the Broncos. She joined Stephanie

Smiley as the only two players in EMU history to produce a

triple double. Smiley had 11 points, 14 rebounds and 12 as-

sists against Ohio on Jan. 26, 2000.

•KSU’S DEGRATE LOVES THE SECOND HALF:

Kent State’s Melissa DeGrate has scored 250 points over

her last 14 games (17.8 ppg), with 175 of those points -- or

70 percent -- coming after halftime. Most recently, DeGrate

scored 17 of her 24 points in the second half against Eastern

Michigan on Jan. 29, and last Wednesday (Feb. 9) versus

Northern Illinois she tallied 15 of her game-high 20 points

after halftime.

•HALFTIME LEADS ARE BAD OMEN FOR NIU:

Northern Illinois is a 2-7 in MAC play this season when

leading at halftime. The Huskies are actually outscoring their

opponents 302-289 during the first 20 minutes of league con-

tests only to be outscored themselves 416-313 after the break.

•PAIR GO OVER 1,000 CAREER POINT MARK:

Toledo senior Karin Hoogendam tallied 12 points, 11 re-

bounds and three blocked shots vs. Ohio on Saturday, Feb.

12. It was her seventh double-double of the season and 12th

in the career. In the process, Hoogendam became the 19th

player in UT history to reach 1,000 career points. Miami’s

Cindi Merrill became the 17th member of the school’s 1,000

point club on Feb. 9 against Akron. Merrill is only the fifth

player in school history to accomplish the feat as a junior.

•UB’S TURNER HOT IN THE LAST FIVE:

Freshman Heather Turner has shot 66.7 from the floor

(28-for-42) in the last five games to up her Buffalo and con-

ference-leading field goal percentage to 58.4 on the season

(101-for-173). Turner is on pace to break UB’s single-sea-

son field goal percentage record, currently held by Heidi

Steckstor who shot 53.9 percent (188-for-349) in 28 games

during the 1989-90 season.

•STREAK ENDS FOR BOWLING GREEN:

Bowling Green saw a lengthy streak come to an end in

the Akron game this past Saturday. The Falcons had made at

least one three-pointer in 193 consecutive games, but went

0-for-13 against the Zips. The last time BGSU won a game

without making a trey was in 1996 against Detroit. Prior to

the 193-game streak, the school record had been 29 games.

•EHLEN WINS 200TH GAME AT TOLEDO:

Mark Ehlen picked up his 200th win at Toledo on Feb. 8,

a 65-51 win over Central Michigan. Ehlen joins Kent State’s

Bob Lindsay (301 wins) as the only coaches in league his-

tory to win 200 games as a MAC head coach.

•CHIPPEWAS GET FIRST WIN AGAINST UB:

Casey Manning was a perfect 6-for-6 from the field and

5-for-5 from the free throw line for a game-high 17 points in

the Chippewas win over Buffalo Saturday. Sharonda Hurd

came off the bench to pull down a game-high 12 rebounds.

The win was CMU’s first in six meetings with the Bulls.
