THE OPPONENT
Eastern New Mexico continues to improve each year under head coach Josh Prock. The Greyhounds, who are in the first season under a shared moniker after spending previous seasons as the Zias, have already matched the season win total from Prock’s first campaign and are creeping up on last season’s magic number (9). The Hounds are led in scoring by a pair of double-digit scorers – Kassandra Harris (12.8) and Mikaehla Connor (10.0).

Tarleton is 30-12 all-time against Eastern New Mexico, including 16-5 in Stephenville.

Meagan O’Dell (91) is nine 3-pointers shy of moving into a four-way tie on the all-time 3-ball’s made list in school history while Raven McGrath (88) and Bailey Wipff (82) are also closing in on the century mark.
STREAKING vs THE HOUNDS
