MILWAUKEE – The Lakeland University Muskies come into the Bloechl Center tonight at 7:00 pm with a 2-4 record. Although on the wrong side of .500, the Muskies have faced some of the toughest teams in the county in their losses including No. 21 UW-Stevens Point, No. 22 UW-Whitewater, No. 24 Calvin and preseason Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference No. 1 pick Wisconsin Lutheran College.
The Muskies offensive attack is led by Bailey Grayvold who leads the team with 13.5 points per game and her efficiency beyond the 3-point arc leads the NACC in 3-point field goal percentage (.462).
