  • Junior guard Zariyah Washington led the Valkyries in scoring against UNC Pembroke with 11 points. She then did not participate in the Valkyrie's exhibition game against the Paladins the following day.
  • Despite a 2-3 conference record heading into Wednesday, the Valkyries' two Conference Carolinas wins were against divisional opponents, putting Converse in first place in the northwest division.

Southern Wesleyan Notes:
  • The Warriors enter Wednesday's game following a 71-55 victory against 1-9 Lees-McRae. It is Southern Wesleyan's only win in their last five Division II games.
  • The Warriors were selected to finish ninth in the Conference Carolinas preseason poll, beating out King by exactly one point for the final single-digit spot. They are currently fourth in the southwest division.
  • Senior guard Shelby Glance leads the Warriors in scoring with 10.5 points per game, the sole Warrior averaging double-digit points. That is good for the 24th best average in Conference Carolinas.
