What?s On Tap
Purdue Calumet will look to advance to the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference Tournament championship game, as it looks for the third victory of the year against TIU.

Series History
Trinity International owns an 11-10 lead in the all-time series, thanks in large part to a seven-game winning streak from 2004 to 2009. The Black and Gold have won four of the last six though, including the past three contests in Hammond.

One More for History
PUC senior Stephaine Beck needs one more 3-point field goal to surpass former teammate Jennifer Britton?s career-record total of 245. The 5-foot-7 guard tied the mark with her third trey of the night in Tuesday?s victory over Trinity Christian. Beck is averaging 2.1 trifectas per game during her career while connecting on 37.3 percent of her shots from downtown.

Home Sweet Home
PUC Head Coach Tom Megyesi?s teams have been impressive at the Fitness and Recreation Center during his tenure, racking up a 44-30 record at home including a 31-14 mark over the past three seasons. This year has been no different, as the Black and Gold are 11-4 inside their friendly confines, where they are averaging just under 80 points per game.

Early Bird Gets the Win
One of the keys to Purdue Calumet?s success has been its ability to jump out to an early lead. The Peregrines are 19-0 when leading at halftime this season and 42-4 record over the past three seasons when accomplishing the feat. 29 of those 42 victories have come at the Fitness and Recreation Center.

Scouting Trinity International
The Trojans enter today?s game with a 11-16 overall record, having won three of their last four contests. Brittany Simon leads TIU into tonight?s contest, as the junior guard is posting a teambest 14.5 points and 4.0 assists per game this season.
