  • Western Carolina opens the season 2-0 for the first time since the 2015-16 season.
  • Western Carolina hits the road for five-straight road games and will not be back home for the rest of November. WCU returns home on Dec. 1 hosting Queens in its annual Education Day game.
  • Western Carolina has defeated one ranked team in its program history. Under former head coach, and current Tennessee Lady Vol Coach, Kellie Harper, the 2007-08 club defeated No. 21/22 Louisville 77-72 at the Minnesota Subway Classic hosted by Minnesota. 
  • Shayane Poirot-Allard's five three-pointers in the win over Winthrop on Thursday is tied for 10th in program history for three-pointers in a game.
