Nelson Ties Field House Record For Three-Pointers

Senior guard Erika Nelson tied a Robertson Memorial Field House record with seven three-point field goals Sunday against Northern Illinois. Nelson, who hit 7-of-11 three-points attempts, is the fourth Bradley player and sixth person to connect on seven three-pointers in a game at the Field House and finished with a career-high 25 points against the Huskies. Nelson joined former Braves Genny Mueller, Michelle Nason and Nancy Zoros, along with Evansville's Alissa Kirby and Creighton's Missy Miller as the only players to hit seven three-pointers in a game at the Field House.

Sister Act

Thursday's game will mark the last time senior Ashley Chelleen will get to play against her sister Stephanie, a junior on the Illinois women's basketball team. Ashley and the Braves posted a 70-67 victory against the Illini in Champaign during Stephanie's freshman season at Illinois, but the Illini won last year's rematch, defeating Bradley 80-64 at Robertson Field House last season. Last season Ashley had seven points and two rebounds off the bench in the game against Illini, while Stephanie did not play in the contest.

Ending On A High Note

Bradley will be looking to wrap up the non-conference portion of the schedule on a high note when the Braves host Illinois on Thursday. Bradley has finished the non-conference schedule with a victory each of the last three seasons and wrapped up non-conference with a win in five of the previous six seasons under head coach Paula Buscher. The lone loss was a 44-80 home setback against Saint Louis on Dec. 29, 2002.

Deadly Accurate From The Line

Bradley shot 92.9 percent from the free throw line in Friday's loss at Illinois-Chicago, hitting 13-of-14 free throw attempts. The Braves 92.9 free throw percentage in the game against the Flames, ranks as the seventh best effort in school history and marks the best team free throw percentage in a contest since making 15-of-16 free throw attempts against Evansville on Feb. 2, 2004. For the season, Bradley is shooting 77.1 percent from the charity stripe as a squad. The team record for free throw percentage was set during the 1993-94 season when the Braves shot 75.1 percent from the line as a team.

Offense Still Clicking

Bradley currently ranks fourth in the MVC in scoring, averaging 73.4 points per game. The Braves have scored 72 points or more seven times this season after topping the 70-point mark a total of seven times last season. Despite the increased offense, Bradley is just 3-4 this season when scoring 70 or more points. Entering this season the Braves were 47-18 (.723) when scoring more that 70 points, including a 19-4 record (.826) in 2004-05 and 2005-06 when reaching the 70-point mark.

Home Win Streak Snapped At Five

Northern Illinois ended Bradley's five-game home win streak with an 85-75 Sunday at Robertson Memorial Field House. The Braves five-game home win streak was the longest since winning five straight home contests midway through the 2002-03 season.

Braves Still Looking To Snap Road Skid

Bradley will open Missouri Valley Conference play with a seven-game road losing streak after losing at Illinois-Chicago last week. The Braves are 0-5 on the road this season and lost their final two road games to conclude the 2005-06 campaign. Bradley will open Missouri Valley Conference play with three consecutive road games and five of the first seven league games away from home.

Double Trouble

Sophomore Kelly Krumwiede posted her fifth double-double in the last seven games with an 18-point, 10-rebound effort Sunday against Northern Illinois. Her five double-doubles are the most by a Brave since Dena Williams posted eight double-doubles in 2004-05. Krumwiede ranks second on the team in scoring at 13.7 points per game and leads the team in rebounding (8.2 per game) and field goal percentage (.589). Krumwiede is one of two players to rank among the top in the MVC in scoring, rebounding and field goal percentage.

Finding The Range

Senior Erika Nelson has connected on a team and career-high 31 three-pointers after 10 games and has already surpassed her career total for made three-pointers from her first three seasons. Nelson entered the season with 24 made three-pointers and had a career three-point field goal percentage of 33.8 percent (24-for-71), but has made 31 of 66 three-point attempts this season (47.0 percent). Nelson is averaging 14.3 points per game this season and needs just 34 points to match her career best total of 177 points from her sophomore season.

Touring The Horizon League

Friday's game at Illinois-Chicago marked the third contest this season against a current member of the Horizon League. The Braves also played a game at Valparaiso, which will be joining the Horizon League next year, earlier this season. Bradley finished 1-3 against its “Horizon League” opponents this season and is now 11-5 (.688) under seventh-year head coach Paula Buscher against team's that will be part of the Horizon League membership in 2007-08. Including a 5-1 record against Valparaiso, the Braves are 35-19 (.648) against the schools that make up the Horizon League all-time.

Up Next

Bradley will open Missouri Valley Conference play with three consecutive road games, beginning with a Dec. 29 contest at Northern Iowa. The Braves will be the first MVC women's basketball team to visit the newly constructed McLeod Center. Bradley holds a 30-17 lead in the all-time series with the Panthers, including a 12-11 record in games played in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Northern Iowa has won each of the last four meetings, however, and has been the victors in eight of the last nine games played in Cedar Falls. Bradley is 5-8 against UNI under seventh-year head coach Paula Buscher, including 1-5 mark in Cedar Falls, Iowa.

Bradley Closes Out Four Game Stretch Against Illinois Schools

Bradley concludes its non-conference schedule with a two-game homestand ending with Thursday's game against Illinois. Illinois will be the fourth consecutive and seventh overall opponent from the state of Illinois this season. The Braves will play a total of nine opponents and 11 games against teams that hail from the Prairie State. Bradley is 3-3 against instate foes this season and own a 32-19 (.627) against instate Division I opponents under seventh-year head coach Paula Buscher. In fact the Braves have finished .500 or better against those opponents in all but one season (2003-04 - 3-5 record) since the start of the 2000-01 campaign.

Krumwiede Named Scholar-Athlete of the Week

Sophomore Kelly Krumwiede was named the Prairie Farms/Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete of the week announced last Thursday. Enrolled in Bradley's Academic Exploration Program, she owns a 3.90 cumulative grade point average and posted a pair of double-doubles during the previous week's action, averaging 15.0 points and 10 rebounds per game, while shooting 54.5 percent (12-for-22) from the field as she helped Bradley to a 1-1 record. Krumwiede, who has four double-doubles in the last five games, opened the week with a 10-point, 10-rebound effort in the Braves loss at Valparaiso. Krumwiede had arguably her best outing of the year in Bradley's victory against Loyola, posting 20 points on 9-of-14 shooting and also added 10 rebounds, one assist and one blocked shot.

Chelleen Moves Up To 24th In Scoring, Peters Now 28th

Senior center Ashley Chelleen moved into 24th place on the Braves scoring list after an eight-point effort last week at Illinois-Chicago and has 711 career points heading into Thursday's game. Chelleen needs 53 points to pass Tammy Van Oppen (763 points) for 23rd place. She is averaging 8.0 points per game and is on pace to finish the regular-season with 863 points which would rank 16th. Fellow senior Amy Peters cracked into the top 30 on the scoring list recently, and is 28th in program history with 661 points. Peters needs six points to pass Dawn Cartwright for 27th place. Fellow senior Jen Brown is 33rd in scoring with 629 points.

In-Season Tournaments

Bradley is 7-7 in in-season tournaments under head coach Paula Buscher and has finished second or better in four of the seven tournaments during her tenure.

Hitting The Road Early and Often

Bradley is hitting the road early and often in 2006-07. The Braves game at Illinois-Chicago last Friday was the sixth game away from home this season, compared to just four home games to date. After the brief two-game homestand which concludes with Thursday's contest against Illinois, Bradley will open league action with five of the first seven Valley games on the road giving the Braves a stretch of 11 of the first 18 games away from home to open the year.
