(LEBANON, Ill., Nov. 13)--The McKendree University women's basketball is on the road for a mid-week game at Upper Iowa University. The Bearcats and Peacocks will tangle at 6 p.m. in Fayette, Iowa.

McKendree is off to the program's first 2-0 start in its NCAA Division II era thanks to a pair of victories last weekend at the Prairie Stars Tip-Off Classic in Springfield, Ill.

Callie Pohlman (Appleton, WI/Appleton North) also averaged double figures for the weekend, putting up 10 PPG while dishing out 10 assists. 

In the two wins, McKendree held its opponents to just 36.5 percent shooting from the floor (42-of-115), which included an 18.6 percent clip (8-of-43) from beyond the arc. The Bearcats also held an 82-73 in rebounding last weekend.

Wednesday's game is the final game away from Lebanon to open the 2019-20 season for McKendree. The Bearcats will tip off their home schedule on Sunday, Nov. 17 with a visit from Missouri Southern State University. Game time is at 3 p.m..
