GAME INFORMATION - AT OREGON 
The Cougars look to get back on track in arguably the toughest environment in the Pac-12 when they play #5 Oregon in Eugene Sunday. The matchup marks the second-straight top-12 game for the Cougars after playing at #11 Oregon State Friday night and the third ranked opponent for WSU on the year having faced then #24 Gonzaga  in non-conference play. WSU has taken two of the last five meetings between the two teams but Oregon has won the last two. WSU last won on Jan. 1, 2017, defeating the Ducks on their home floor in dominating fashion. Star forward Borislava Hristova will play her first game in Eugene Sunday after missing the previous to games due to injury. Last season in a high scoring affair at home, Hristova scored 22 to lead five Cougs in double-figures while Ruthy Hebard scored a game-high 29 to lead four Ducks in double-figures.

LAST TIME OUT
WSU narrowly missed the upset of #11 Oregon State on the road rallying back from 15 down before falling 76-69 to the Beavers who closed the final three minutes of the game on a 14-4 run to overcome a late four point lead by the Cougs. Borislava Hristova led all scorers in the game with 24 points while Chanelle Molina nabbed her first double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds. The Beavers put three in double figures in the game as OSU used the three-ball to do their damage in the second quarter when they opened up a double-digit lead.

SWEDLUND'S  MARCH TOWARDS 1,000
Entering the year, Coug senior sniper Alexys Swedlund sits as the next in line to join WSU's 1,000-point club. The fourth-year Coug enters the game with 993 career points. 
Swedlund needs 7 points to become the 19th member of the 1,000 point club and join teammate Borislava Hristova who hit the century mark last season. With a season 12.8 ppg average, Swedlund should hit the mark against Oregon today. 
When Swedlund hits 1,000 the Cougars will have two players with 1,000 career points  (Borislava Hristova as well) marking just the 6th season in program history two 1,000 point scorers have taken the court together for the Cougars (the last being 2015, Tia Presley and Lia Galderia)
