What to Watch

The Braves will need to be patient and find their opportunities to make smart shots. Bradley and UIC both have top three defenses in the MVC, so both teams need to capitalize on the chances they can create.

Key Players to Watch

• Ellie McDermid (Bradley): McDermid is coming off of her third double-double of the season and her second in her last five games. She will look to continue the hot streak she has been on this Saturday against the Flames.

• Kaylen Nelson (Bradley): Nelson was one rebound away from having her first double-double of the season. She scored 12 points, grabbed nine rebounds, and had four assists against Valparaiso. Nelson will need to have another strong offensive performance to give the Braves an edge over UIC.
