SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Bradley Women's Basketball looks to get back in the win column when the Braves take on Missouri State Sunday in a 2 p.m. at JQH Arena to wrap up a brief two-game home stand. 
 
Both Bradley and Missouri State were in action Friday with the Braves falling at Wichita State 65-54 after the Shockers scored the last nine points of the contest in the final 1:31 of play to pull out the victory. 
 
Missouri State is 4-2 in MVC play after hanging on for a 65-60 home win against Illinois State.  The Bears have won four consecutive games after a 0-2 start to Valley play and Sunday's game will mark the end of a stretch in which Missouri State will have played five of the first seven MVC contests at JQH Arena.  Overall, the Bears will have played eight of the last 10 games at home through Sunday. 
 
Sunday's game will be available on ESPN3 as part of The Valley On ESPN3 and can be viewed through WatchESPN.com and the WatchESPN app.  In addition, BradleyBraves.com will provide links to live stats along with the WIRL 1290 AM (www.1290wirl.com) radio broadcast with Ed Hammond providing play-by-play.
 

• Bradley's 10 true road games to date are the second most in the MVC, behind only Indiana State (12).  With three true road victories, the Braves need just one more win away from home for the team's highest road win total since 2012-13 (6). 

 

• Junior guard Anneke Schlueter had a game-high 22 points Friday at Wichita State, scoring 15 points in the second half. She was 3-for-7 from three-point range in the contest, going 3-for-4 from beyond the arc in the second half.  Schlueter moved into 10^th in career three-point field goals at Bradley passing Dana Anderson (1994-98), who had 104 trey's.  Schlueter now has 105 career three's and needs two to pass Devyn Flanagan (2004-08) for ninth in Bradley history. 

 

• Senior Leti Lerma took over seventh on Bradley's career rebounding list Friday with eight boards against the Shockers.  She now has 680 career rebounds and climbed ahead of Shelli Braud (1984-88), who had 679 boards during her time on The Hilltop.  Lerma is 12 rebounds by Sonya Harris (2007-10) for sixth (692 rebounds). 

 

• Junior Anneke Schlueter has had success on the Missouri State-Wichita State road swing throughout her career.  In fact she has topped 20 points five times in her career after her 22-point outburst at Wichita State Friday and her first career 20-point game came at Missouri State her freshman year.  During her career, she has averaged 12.8 points per game on 51.3 percent shooting and is 11-for-25 (44 percent) from three-point range in her five career road games against the Shockers and Bears. 

 

• Freshman Chelsea Brackmann was 5-for-6 from the free throw line Friday night and now has the most made free throws by a Brave since 2014-15.  She needs one assist to become the first Bradley player with 150 points, 100 rebounds, 20 assists, 20 blocks and 10 or more steals in a season since Alyson Spinas-Valainis in 2013-14 and Brackmann would join Heather Best (1995-96) as the only freshmen in program history to reach those marks. 

 

• Brackmann is averaging a team-best 5.4 free throw attempts per game this season.  With 64 made free throws, she needs just 15 makes from the charity stripe to break the Bradley freshman record of 78 set by Heather Best in 1995-96. 

 

• Junior Vanessa Markert has come off the bench in each of the first six Missouri Valley Conference games, after starting all 11 non-conference games.  While Markert's scoring has dipped a little to 6.3 points per game in MVC play, she is shooting 50 percent from the field against Valley opponents and has scored 16.7 points per 40 minutes in conference outings. 

 

• Freshman Alona Johnson has also boosted her production in MVC play.  Johnson is averaging 24.2 minutes per game on the year, but has played 34.0 minutes per game in conference games.  Against Valley opponents, she has averaged 3.5 assists with a 1.31 assist-to-turnover ratio compared to 2.0 assists per contest with a 1.05 assist-to-turnover ratio in non-conference action.

 

• Bradley will play six of the next eight games at home, opening a four-game MVC home stand Friday with a 7 p.m. game against Southern Illinois at Renaissance Coliseum.
