• The Monarchs have raised their three-point shooting percentage lately, and are now the third most efficient team from behind the arc making 30.5 percent from behind the line.
• KC ranks third in the MAC Freedom in free throw percentage at 72.4 percent, much in part to Rebecca Prociak. The junior leads the league in free throws made and taken, and is hitting 71.6 percent from the line this year. She's also made 38 of her last 46 attempts (82.6%).
• Prociak is closing in on 1,000 points, as the standout forward 987 points going into Saturday's game.
