* This is the 36th season of West Florida women's basketball. UWF has an all-time record of 499-462 (.518) in 961 games. UWF is 180-146 (.554) in 21 seasons of Gulf South Conference play. The Argonauts have made four NCAA Tournament appearances, including each of the last two seasons. UWF won its first-ever GSC Championship two years ago.
ABOUT UWF
* Fourth-year head coach Stephanie Lawrence Yelton has four starters and eight letterwinners back from last year's 20-win squad that finished second in the GSC regular season.
* UWF ranks third in the GSC in scoring offense (65.5 ppg) and seventh in scoring defense (62.5) on the year.
* Katie Bobos (12.8 ppg), Toni Brewer (11.8 ppg) and Alex Coyne (10.3 ppg) rank in the top 20 in the GSC in scoring, as UWF and Union are the only teams in the league with three of the conference's top 20 scorers.
* Brewer leads the squad on the glass with 8.0 rpg, followed by Bobos and Courtney Meyer at 7.9 rpg, and Kelly Preston at 6.7 rpg. UWF is the only team in the GSC with three - not to mention four - of the top seven rebounders in the conference. The Argos are second in the GSC in rebounds (40.5 rpg) and third in rebound margin (6.7).
* UWF leads in the GSC with 4.0 blocks per game, while Alex Coyne leads the conference and ranks third in Division II with 6.8 apg.
* The UWF defense has been a key to the team's success, as the Argos have gone 12-0 when holding opponents to 60 points or fewer, including six times during their 7-game win streak.
IT'S CROWDED AT THE TOP
* With two games remaining in the regular season, UWF currently sits in fifth place in the conference at 13-7. Delta State is two games ahead at 15-5, while Shorter and Lee are a game ahead of the Argos at 14-6. UWF could finish anywhere from second to fifth, but does hold tiebreakers over Delta, Lee and Shorter. Union has clinched the No. 1 seed and is currently on a league-best 13-game win streak.
* All five teams, along with Alabama-Huntsville have already clinched a spot in the 8-team GSC Tournament.
WIN NUMBER 500 ON THE HORIZON
* UWF hopes to earn the 500th win in program history on Saturday, after clinching No. 499 against Christian Brothers last Thursday.
* The Argos have won 324 of those games since joining the Gulf South Conference in the 1994-95 season, a total that trails just six teams in conference history. UWF is one of just four teams to put up a perfect conference record (14-0 in 1998-99) in a season since joining the GSC. nShannan Bergen (183) and Kathy Davis (175) have earned the lions share of those 499 wins. Davis was the program's inaugural coach in 1981, and her tenure ran through the 1993-94 campaign.
* West Florida has won 20 games five times: 1997-98, 98-99, 2003-04, 05-06 and last season, 2014-15.
* The Argonauts have posted 17 winning seasons.
ABOUT WEST ALABAMA
* UWA is 9-15 overall and 6-14 in GSC play, putting the Tigers in tenth place. They are a game back of eighth and two back of seventh with two games to play.
* The Tigers are 6-5 at home this season and have won their last two in Pruitt Hall and two of three overall.
* Juniors Ariel Wilson and Catherine Taylor have been at the forefront of UWA's recent success, helping the team to a 3-3 mark since the end of January. On the season, Wilson leads the team in scoring (16.0 ppg), rebounding (5.8 rpg) and assists (3.1 apg). Taylor is second on the squad in scoring (11.5 ppg) and rebounding (4.7 rpg) while making a team-high 38 3-pointers.
SERIES HISTORY VS. UWA
* UWF holds a 24-19 series lead over West Alabama since the teams first played in late 1994.
* LAST MEETING: West Florida never trailed and led by as many as 20 late in the third quarter before claiming a 63-54 win in Pensacola in early January. Four players scored in double figures and all nine Argos who played scored at least two points. Toni Brewer had 14 points and eight rebounds to lead the team, while Belle Bistrow made three 3-pointers on her way to 13 points. Katie Bobos added 11 points and Alex Coyne scored nine with seven assists. UWF shot just 33 percent but made eight 3-pointers and scored 15 second chance points on 16 offensive rebounds.
