THE RECORDS
After getting off to the best start in program history, Linfield (9-0) stands among the NWC leaders in nearly every statistical category and looks to improve on its 6-10 conference record from a year ago. Pacific (4-5) is coming off of two straight wins and is hungry to get back to work after going 12-4 and placing third in the NWC last season. George Fox (8-1) is going through a historic turnaround, having already surpassed last season's six wins. The Bruins aim to build off positive momentum as they enter conference play.
 
LINFIELD AT A GLANCE
The Wildcats rank third in the conference in both scoring offense and scoring defense. Their 14.1 point margin is second in the NWC and shows why Linfield is off to a historic start. Senior Gillyan Landis guides the scoring attack with 13.6 points while Eve Burke pours in 12.8. Miki Vermeulen has filled a utility position for the Wildcats, averaging 9.1 points, eight rebounds and three assists per game. Allie Mead has filled the void left by the injury of Ella Koebelin, taking on a distributor role and averaging 4.3 assists.
 
PACIFIC AT A GLANCE
Shaade Williams directs the Boxers' attack, standing among the conference leaders at 12.1 points and Brookelynn Burke adds another 11.5. Emily Holsan anchors the Pacific defense with 6.1 rebounds and 3.2 steals. The Boxers lead the league in scoring with 71.3 points, a number supported by an impressive 5.3 turnover margin and 10.7 steals per game.
 
GEORGE FOX AT A GLANCE
The Bruins are bolstered by a solid defense that allows just 52.5 points, good for second in the Northwest Conference. They also top the conference in opponent three-point percentage (21.8%) and rank fourth in rebounding margin (4.9). Alyssa Wells leads the team in scoring with 12.9 points and in blocks with 14 on the season. Hanne Hopkins contributes nine points per contest while Mia Skoro adds another 7.8. Alexa Borter leads the Bruins in both field goal percentage (55.8%) and rebounding (6.8).
