SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - The University of Illinois Springfield women's basketball team wraps up a three-game road swing on Wednesday when the Prairie Stars travel to Concordia-Chicago. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m.

The Prairie Stars look to snap a two-game skid after starting 0-2 this season. Last weekend, UIS fell to Hillsdale, 92-62, and Lake Superior State, 49-44.

Quick Hits
•    The Prairie Stars enter the new season with a fresh look. 11 of the 14 players on the roster are newcomers. The athletic department also has a new logo.
•    Sophomore Syerra Cunningham recorded her first double-double for the Prairie Stars on Saturday against Lake Superior State with 14 pts and 13 rebs.
•    Seniors Cassie Wolfe and Courtney Knuckles, along with junior Meredith Marti are the team's only returners.
•    Head Coach Chad Oletzke begins his third season at UIS. He is joined by first-year assistants Steve Yang and Chelsea Meeks.

Hello, My Name Is...
The Prairie Stars have 11 new faces on the roster this season including 9 transfers and two freshmen. Five newcomers were featured in the starting lineup over the weekend, led by freshman Shelbi Patterson and sophomore Syerra Cunningham.

Growing Up Fast
Underclassmen have played a large role in both games this season. Freshman Shelbi Patterson (11.5 pts) and sophomore Syerra Cunningham (10.5 pts, 8.5 rebs) lead the Prairie Stars in scoring and rebounding.  Sophomore Caroline Kelty also started in both games, scoring 11 points in the opener to go along with five rebounds and four assists.

Perfection
The 2014-15 Prairie Stars feature two freshmen including guard Shelbi Patterson. In her UIS debut on Thursday against Hillsdale, she was perfect from the field (8-8) on her way to 20 points. It was the most points scored by a UIS player in a season-opener since 2011 (Alyssa Palmer, 21).

Shooting Woes
UIS shot just 33 percent from the field (34-102) and 29 percent from three-point land in its first two games this season. Only five players are shooting at least 40 percent, led by freshman Shelbi Patterson (64.3).

Going Without
For the first time in four seasons, the Prairie Stars will not have Megan Bergerud in the lineup. UIS graduated its two all-time leading scorers in Bergerud and Alyssa Palmer.

Coming Up Next
The Prairie Stars return to Springfield for the home-opener against Southwest Baptist on Saturday, Nov. 22 at 1 p.m.
