CHICAGO -

OPENING TIP – The Chicago State women's basketball team concludes its four-game road swing on Wednesday night when it heads to Milwaukee for a non-conference battle on ESPN3 with a start time of 7 p.m.

SCOUTING CSU – Chicago State kicks off this week's slate sporting a 0-9 season record after dropping a close 59-54 decision at city rival Loyola last Saturday afternoon while receiving a pair of career-high 22 point-efforts from redshirt junior guard Jessica Cerda (Streamwood, Ill./Streamwood) and senior guard Cailin Nix (Martinsville, Ind./Martinsville). Sophomore forward/center Sh'Toya Sanders (Fort Wayne, Ind./Wayne) leads CSU with averages of 16 points, 9.9 rebounds and 4.1 blocked shots per game on the season. Sophomore guard/forward Kaylee Allen (Cincinnati, Ohio/Winton Woods) is second in scoring at 13.3 points a game while dishing out a team-leading 2.7 assists a game and has drained a team-best 85 percent of her free throw attempts. Cerda is averaging eight points per contest and junior guard Destiny Harris (Crete, Ill./Homewood-Flossmoor) is averaging 5.3 rebounds a game to rank second on the team.

SCOUTING UWM – Milwaukee holds a 7-2 season record and had its six-game winning streak snapped last Sunday after losing a close 65-63 decision to Northwestern at home. The Panthers have three players producing double figure scoring averages with junior forward Steph Kostowicz leading the way at 18 points, 9.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocked shots a game. Kostkowicz is also shooting 84 percent from the free throw line and 57 percent from the field. Junior guard Jenny Lindner is second on the team with 16.7 points per game, and senior guard Sierra Ford-Washington is averaging 13.6 points a game to go along with team-leading averages of four assists and 1.8 steals per game.

SERIES HISTORY – Milwaukee has recorded a 17-2 mark in the all-time series with Chicago State after the Panthers notched a close 55-48 victory in Chicago on Jan. 3, 2016. Layne Murphy (Country Club Hills, Ill./Rich Central) led the Green and White with 24 points and four steals while shooting 10-of-11 from the free throw line and 7-of-14 from the field in the game.

FACING THE HORIZON – Wednesday's contest marks the fourth time that CSU has faced an opponent from the Horizon League this season after hosting Valparaiso, Wright State and Oakland in home contests during the month of November.

CLOSING IN ON 500 – Allen comes into Wednesday's contest scoring 447 points in her collegiate career and is now 53 points shy from hitting the 500-point milestone.

UP NEXT – The Cougars return to the Emil and Patricia Jones Convocation Center on Saturday, Dec. 17 to open a two-game homestand against Western Illinois with the opening tip set for 2 p.m.
