About the Mustangs

Freshman guard Kirsti Degelia matched a season-high with a very efficient 20-point outing Saturday afternoon at Central Oklahoma.

The Krum High product knocked down 5-of-8 shots from the field including a 3-pointer and was 9-of-11 from the charity while grabbing four rebounds and dishing a pair assists in 34 minutes.

Degelia also poured in 20 points to go along with seven assists and seven steals earlier this season against Hillsdale Freewill Baptist.

She has scored at least nine points in each of her last five outings.

Senior forward Nolisha Markham returned to the starting lineup and continued her stellar play by narrowly missing a double-double for the third straight game.

The Tulsa native tallied 16 points and grabbed eight rebounds after going for 19 points and eight rebounds on Jan. 3 against Newman and a season-high 22 points and eight rebounds off of the bench as MSU pushed No. 7 Northeastern State to double overtime on Jan. 6, 2011.

About the Belles

Angelo State has rebounded from a three-game skid to win three of their last four including consecutive road wins over Cameron and Southwestern Oklahoma State last week.

The Rambelles (7-5) have also fared at Junell Center/Stephens Arena where they have posted a 5-2 mark taking losses to Southeastern Oklahoma and St. Mary's.

Senior guard Camille Perkins came on strong last week notching consecutive season highs with 25 points in a 66-34 victory at Cameron on Thursday before pouring in 29 points in a 60-59 win at Southwestern Oklahoma State on Saturday.

Perkins raised season average to 15.1 points a contest to go along with 4.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists.

Sophomore forward Lindsey Mahone, a transfer from Eastern Michigan, is the Belles' top interior threat averaging 12.9 points and pulling down 7.1 assists.

Angelo State scores 64.2 points a game and allows 59.8.

About the Series

Midwestern State meets Angelo State for the 49th time on the hardwood Wednesday night at Junell Center/Stephens Arena.

The Belles own a slim 25-23 edge in the series which dates back to the 1978-79 season, but the teams have split games in each of the last two seasons with each team winning on its home floor.

Angelo State is 18-4 against the Mustangs all time in games played in San Angelo. The Rambelles have won each of the eight meetings versus MSU in games played in Junell Center/Stephens Arena.
