Youngstown -- The Youngstown State women's basketball team closes out its regular season at Milwaukee's Klotsche Center on Saturday at 3 p.m. Eastern. The Penguins' last win came in last year's regular-season finale against Valparaiso, 54-38. YSU has shot 37 percent in back-to-back games for the first time all season. The Guins will play Wright State in the first round of the 2010 Speedway Horizon League Championship on Monday.

Scouting Milwaukee
Milwaukee is eighth in the Horizon League standings after losing eight times in the last nine games. The Panthers are coming off a 74-56 loss to Cleveland State on Thursday. Junior Lindsay Laur ranks sixth in the circuit in scoring (13.9 ppg) and fifth in rebounding (8.0 rpg). Jodie McClain's 4.8 assists per game ranks second. The Panthers will play Valpo in a first round game on Monday.

Brown is First Freshman at 300 Points in 15 Years
With 19 points against Detroit on Saturday, YSU freshman Brandi Brown became the first Penguin freshman to reach 300 points since 1994-95. Ann Marie Martin and Caroline McCombs both surpassed 300 points that season, and McCombs' 346 points is the YSU freshman record. Brown currently has 325 points, which means she'll need to average 11 points over the next two games to break McCombs' record. Brown has already smashed the freshman rebounding record by 59.

Brown Two Away From 300 Rebounds
Brandi Brown is two rebounds away from reaching 300 for the season. If she can get two caroms with at least two games remaining, she'll become the third player in school history to grab 300 rebounds in a season. Wanda Grant and Dorothy Bowers both grabbed at least 300 twice in their careers, but Bowers is the only YSU player to do it at the Division I level (326 in 1985-86, 325 in 1987-88). Bowers is the only women's basketball player to have her number retired at Youngstown State.

March Ties 3-Pointers Record on Memorable Senior Day
Senior guard Kaitlyn March saved the best game of her Youngstown State career for her final contest at Beeghly Center. March scored a career-high 21 points in the contest against Detroit and tied a school record with seven 3-pointers. March's previous career high was 13 points at Kent State last year, which is when she also sank three triples, her previous career best. March was 7-for-13 from 3-point range, becoming the eighth player in school history to make seven treys. She became just the fourth player to hit seven threes at Beeghly Center.

Penguins Have Back-to-Back Best Shooting Games
For the first time all season, Youngstown State has shot at least 37 percent in back-to-back games. It's only the third time that YSU has shot at least 35 percent in back-to-back contests. The Penguins shot 40.4 percent against Detroit on Feb. 27, and they made 37.8 percent on Thursday at Green Bay. YSU shot 53.3 percent (8-for-15) in the second half against the Phoenix on Thursday, which was its best percentage for a half this season.

Brown Breaks Freshman Rebound Mark, Closing in on Scoring Record
With 14 rebounds against UIC on Feb. 6, Brandi Brown broke YSU's freshman rebounding record. She now has 298 rebounds, surpassing Jen Perugini's mark 239 that was set in 2001-02. Brown also has a chance to break Caroline McCombs' freshman scoring record of 346 points, but that will likely come down to the final game of the year. Brown has 325 points, and, with at least two games remaining, she'll need to average 11 points to pass McCombs in the first round of the Speedway Horizon League Women's Basketball Championship.
