DURANT, Okla. – Southeastern will set out to end a four-game losing skid when it begins its second trip through the Great American Conference lineup beginning with a Jan. 26 matchup with Southern Nazarene at 5:30 p.m. in Bloomer Sullivan Arena.
 
With the losses, the Savage Storm has dipped to 12-6 overall on the season and 5-5 in Great American Conference play.
 
Despite the rough stretch SE sits in fifth place and well within striking distance of third as the teams look to navigate through the conference schedule a second time.
 
The Storm also remains among the league's best team's on offense, holding onto its third-place mark in scoring at 71.8 points per game and a plus-8.6 ppg scoring margin.
 
Southeastern is fourth in the league while shooting 40.7 percent from the floor, but leads the conference in both three-point shooting at 37.6 percent on a league-high 465 attempts as well as free throw shooting at 75.8 percent.
 
That offense is paced by Emily Williams who is ranked fifth in the conference in scoring at 17.5 ppg while Olivia Potter is ranked 21^st in the GAC at 10.4 ppg.
 
While Potter has slipped to second in the three-point field goal percentage while making 45.5 of her 121 attempts, she continues to hold a lead in the league in three-point field goals made per game at 3.1 which ranks her 15^th in the country.
 
Williams also leads the team in rebounds and is sixth in the conference with 7.3 rpg, while Kaylie Baxter is in eighth at 6.8 per outing.
 
Williams also cracks the league's top-10 in assists with 2.9 per game and makes her one of just two players to be ranked in the top-10 in all three major categories.
 
SNU comes into the Monday meeting with a 6-10 record on the season and a 3-7 mark in GAC play and has posted a 2-6 record since handing the Storm its first conference loss back on Dec. 6.
 
They are led by Aminata Fall who is second in the league in scoring at 20.9 ppg and leads the conference in rebounding with 12.1 rebounds per contest and is one of just two players averaging a double-double in the league.
 
She is joined in double-digits offensively by Abby Boyd who is scoring 13.1 ppg and also leads the team with 3.0 assists per outing.
