CHICAGO – The UIC women's basketball team (2-10, 0-1 HL) closes out its two-game homestand as it welcomes Wright State (9-4, 0-1 HL) to Credit Union 1 Arena. The two teams are set to tipoff on Sunday at noon CT.

Starting Five

• Sophomore Jada Nneji blocked a career-high six for the Flames defense on Friday against Northern Kentucky, the most by a single player since Ruvanna Campbell stopped six on Feb. 28, 2015 against Oakland.
• Senior Brittany Byrd has scored in double figures in her last seven appearances. She ranks third in the Horizon League in scoring with 16.0 points per game.
• Byrd is quickly approaching the 1,000-career point marker, owning 946 career points. The senior will be the first player to eclipse 1,000 career points since Campbell racked up 1,671 points from 2013-16.
• Junior Tylah Lampley has been UIC's primary contributor off the bench thus far, ranking third on the squad in points (58) and fourth in rebounding average (3.1 per game). Lampley is the Flames' most efficient shooter, making 42 percent of her shots. The Homewood, Ill. native led the squad in both points (16) and rebounds (5) on Friday against Northern Kentucky.
• The Flames lead the Horizon League in steals, averaging 9.0 thefts per contest. The Flames have recorded more steals than their opponents in five contests (Loyola, Miami, Evansville, Indiana State, Fairfield and Northern Kentucky), and have reached double digits in steals on five occasions: Nov. 27 at Eastern Michigan (11), Dec. 1 against Miami (14), Dec. 8 at Indiana State (14), Dec. 21 against Fairfield (11) and Dec. 28 aginst Northern Kentucky (11).
