  • Western Carolina and Presbyterian meet for the fourth time in the two school's history. The two schools first met in December of 1988 with the Catamounts winning in Cullowhee 76-67. After a 25-year hiatus, the two teams met again in 2013 with WCU winning in Clinton, S.C. 52-38. The Blue Hose got their first program victory over WCU on Nov. 22, 2014, winning in the Ramsey Center 51-44. Heading into Tuesday's contest the Catamounts lead the series 2-1 and are 1-1 at home against the Blue Hose. 
  • Vanessa Oduah scored 26 points against UNCA a career-high as a Catamount and the first WCU player of the young season to score 20 or more points. It is the most scored by a Catamount since 2019.
