Express Notes Rise To Third: The Owens women’s basketball team will be looking for its 18th straight win today. Should they get it done, they would tie the program’s consecutive winning streak record (2009-10, 2013-14). They have also won nine straight regular season conference games, five short of tying the program record. Lastly, the team has won 38 straight games at home, just four short of tying the program record. Heating Up: Briana Williams, who scored a season-high 14 against Cuyahoga, has notched double figures in three of the team’s past five games. She is shooting 4-for-8 from 3-point range and 20-for-43 from the field during that stretch. Doubling Up: Ashley Tunstall now has back-to-back double-doubles to open conference play. She has six overall this year and 17 for her career. Keeping Pace: Owens is No. 3 in the nation behind No. 2 Parkland (16-1) and No. 1 Johnson County (18-0).

Aaliyah Wise is next closest with 9.7 points per game, while adding a team-high 8.4 rebounds per game. Tough Schedule: Edison, despite a new coaching staff and losing its top 3 scorers from last year, hit the road for their first nine games of the season.
