The Red Storm also shot 49.3 percent from the field and had a season high 55 rebounds in the game. They led by as many as 35 points in the game.

A MILESTONE: Coach Angie Kristensen is fast approaching the 100 win mark at Dixie State. She needs just three wins to accomplish the feat. She is currently 97-49 at the helm of the Red Storm.

AROUND THE PACWEST: With a full slate of games taking place on Thursday night, the PacWest race returned to normalcy. Dixie State defeated Dominican, Grand Canyon blew out NDNU, Hilo was a winner at BYU-Hawaii, Hawaii Pacific cruised to an easy win over Chaminade and first place Cal Baptist squeeked by Academy of Art.

SCOUTING the RED STORM: With the Red Storm winning the first meeting between the two schools in early December, NDNU will be looking for redemption on their home floor. DSC is coming off an easy win over Dominican were they were able to regain some confidence on the shooting end of the floor. Having 11 of the 12 player score in the game gave everyone some needed confidence. Last time out against the Argonauts, the Red Storm shot just 17 percent from three point range. They will need to shoot better than that to win on the road.Leading the way for the Red Storm is Sheila Adams (Layton, UT/Layton) at 15.6 ppg. The Red Storm shoot 32.2 percent from behind the arc and 40.1 percent from the field. They average 73.5 ppg and will need to limit the number of turnovers they commit.

SCOUTING NOTRE DAME DE NAMUR: Having won only two of their last nine games, the Argonauts will be hungry for a win. They have already beaten Grand Canyon earlier this year and are capable of giving DSC fits. Their Freshman Taylor Dewees is averaging 14.8 ppg has caused havoc for DSC and other PacWest opponents. Averaging just 59.7 ppg and they shoot 37.3 percent from the field and 31.3 from behind the arc.
