After two straight victories on the road at Algoma, the Western Mustangs women's basketball team hopes to keep their winning streak moving along when they return home to play the McMaster Marauders Wednesday night at Alumni Hall.

The team's offense sprang to life in last week's series, as they outscored the Thunderbirds 130-94. Mackenzie Puklicz led team scoring over the two games with 22 points. She also picked up 11 rebounds and 4 assists. Her 10.8 points per game average puts her just behind Caroline Wolynski's 11.3 on the team leaderboard.

Victoria Heine has been an asset to the Mustangs both offensively and defensively. Her 10 points in Saturday's game against the Thunderbirds was a personal season-high. Her 43.8% shooting percentage leads the team with 5 or more field goal attempts per game. Off the glass, she's second in team rebounds with 4.3 per game, trailing only Puklicz whose nine-rebound game on Saturday helped push her ahead.
