About the Mustangs
It's time for Midwestern State to make its run in 2010-11.
 
A victory over Eastern New Mexico tonight would give the Mustangs its first road win of the season and give MSU momentum heading into a stretch where it plays four of five games in the comfortable confines of D.L. Ligon Coliseum.

Patterson has scored in double figures in three of her last four games including 12 points at Incarnate Word before scoring 10 at Texas A&M-Kingsville and four against West Texas A&M.
 
The 5-10 forward from Southlake pulled her season averages to 6.8 points and 6.9 rebounds a game during the stretch.
 
The Mustangs were without the services of senior forward Nolisha Markham against the TexAnns who missed the contest due to injury.
 
The senior forward leads the team scoring 14.1 points and pulling down 6.9 rebounds a contest.
