Hamline
Saturday's loss to Hamline was the Cardinals’ third straight and fifth in their last six games. … SMU managed just 14 points in the first half against Macalester last Wednesday, marking the second-lowest output in a half and the eighth time this season that the Cardinals have scored 20 or fewer points in a half. … SMU has held its opponents to 65 points or less in each of their last eight games — going 2-6. … The Cardinals have been held to 56 points or less in all 13 of their losses. … Jessica Weisbrod (Rollingstone, Minn.) netted 15 points vs. Hamline. It was the fifth straight game in which she has scored in double figures, and the ninth time in SMU’s last 10 games. … Weisbrod notched double-double No. 3 on the season last Monday vs. Saint Benedict, netting 14 points and adding 11 rebounds. It was Weisbrod's fifth double-double of her career. … Kelly Tanke (La Crosse, Wis.) notched a team-leading 18 points vs. Hamline, marking the 14th time in SMU's 18 games that she or Weisbrod have led the team in scoring. … Tanke has scored 31 of the team's 58 3-pinters. … SMU's two games this week are on the road (at St. Olaf and at Gustavus), where the Cardinals are 1-8 — SMU has not won a road game since opening the season with a 56-43 win over Willamette at the Bon Appetite Classic in Portland, Ore.
