NOTES

SCOUTING THE LIONS: North Alabama hits the road with a 10-12 overall record and a 6-3 record in ASUN play to sit third in the conference standings. North Alabama ranks third in the ASUN with 71.4 points per game. UNA also ranks among the top three ASUN teams in the following categories: free throw percentage (72.4 percent/first), team assists (15.09 per game/first), three-point percentage (33.2 percent/second), three pointers per game (8.4 per game/second), team field goal percentage (42.9 percent/third) and bench points per game (21.6/third).

SCOUTING THE HATTERS: Stetson is 11-12 overall entering the matchup with UNA, posting a 6-4 record at home, 5-6 record on the road and 0-2 in neutral contests. The Hatters are currently tied with UNA at 6-3 in the ASUN. Stetson is one of the top defensive teams in the conference, ranking third in scoring defense (60.4). The leading scorer for Stetson is redshirt senior Jamiya Turner with 11.1 PPG, and the head coach is Lynn Bria in year 16 with the Hatters.

SERIES HISTORY: The Thursday morning matchup marks the 11th all-time between UNA and Stetson. Both teams have five wins in the series, but North Alabama claimed the last win with a 60-57 road victory in the last meeting on Jan. 14, 2023. UNA has won the last two road contests in the series.

1K MAGIC: Senior Alexis Callins became the first player to score 1,000 career points all in the Division I era two weeks ago against Kennesaw State. A four-year mainstay, she also became the 18th player in all of UNA Women's Basketball history to achieve this milestone. The all-time leader in scoring at UNA is Ivy Wallen, who scored 1,762 points over four seasons — two at the Division II level and two at the Division I level. Callins ranks 15th all-time with 1,052 points.

TWEEDY'S TRIFECTA: Veronaye Charlton completed back-to-back ASUN Freshman of the Week honors on Feb. 5 and has won three this season. In two wins against North Florida and Jacksonville last week, Charlton started both games and averaged 17 points per game on 48 percent shooting while going 4-7 from behind the arc. Charlton also averaged 5.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, tallying three steals and a block over the week. She now ties Sakyia White for the second-most ASUN freshman weekly honors in a season at UNA behind only Skyler Gill, who won it five times in 2021-22.

NO PRESSURE: Free throws may be free, but North Alabama has made teams pay from the charity stipe this season. The Lions lead the ASUN in free-throw percentage at 72.4 percent. UNA leads the conference by 1.6 percent.

CALLINS CAN SCORE (A LOT): Callins' 15.5 PPG ranks fourth in the ASUN and is on pace for a new Division I-era record at UNA for individual season scoring average. She has scored in double figures in all but three games this season.

GIVE HER THE GREEN LIGHT: Callins' three-point game is nationally ranked in the NCAA, with her 3.09 three pointers ranking her eighth in the country. She has the fifth-most three pointers in the country with 68, trailing Iowa's Caitlyn Clark (122), Syracuse's Dyaisha Fair (81), Alabama's Aaliyah Nye (79) and TCU's Madison Connor (73). She needs 24 more threes to set the UNA Division I record for most threes in a season, set by Julia Strachan with 91 in 2021-22.

CHARLTON KEEPS IT COOL: Freshman guard Veronaye Charlton continues to make an impact in her first season at UNA. Charlton brings energy whenever she touches the court, but her calling card is remaining cool, calm and collected from the charity stripe. She checks in at 82.7 percent from the line, second in the ASUN and ranking 94th nationally.

DROPPING DIMES: Senior guard Sara Wohlgemuth is in the ASUN lead and ranks 52nd nationally with 4.9 assists per game. Her 107 assists lead the ASUN, as well, with a 50th national ranking. She is also second in the ASUN with a 1.67 assist/turnover ratio.

MILESTONE WIN: With Thursday's win over North Florida, UNA head coach Missy Tiber won her 350th career game as a head coach. She has won 165 games over 11 seasons at UNA and 351 games over 24 years overall.
