Currently ninth in the MEC standings, Vicky Bullet's team will look to end a rough skid at UVa-Wise Wednesday. West Virginia Wesleyan has lost five of six games entering its game at the Prior Center where the team is 0-5 all-time. Bullett's team has just one player, Abi Gabauer, averaging more than 10 points per game this season. Defense has been an issue for the team, opponents are shooting 43.1 percent from the floor this season while allowing 35 percent from the 3-point line. Overall, the Bobcats have made 62 3-pointers this season; by comparison, opponents have made 109 3-point field goal attempts. The team has also struggled on the glass, WVWC is being out rebounded by 3.2 boards per game. In its first meeting against UVa-Wise, Bullett's team fell behind by 17 points after three quarters of playing before storming back to have the ball down one with three seconds to play. The comeback bid fell short as a a jumper in the lane fell short allowing UVa-Wise to claim the 59-58 win. 

At the .500 mark in league play, UVa-Wise has all but guaranteed itself a berth in the upcoming MEC Tournament. UVa-Wise junior Cynita Webb has recorded a double-double in consecutive games while having posted 10 double-doubles on the season. The forward's 13.8 points and 10.9 rebounds per game allow her to be one of four players in the MEC to average a double-double. Recently, redshirt sophomore Kalee Johnson has been playing the best basketball of her collegiate career. Johnson has scored in double figures in three consecutive games; the forward registered a new career-high with 17 points at Concord Saturday. Depth has been a big reason why the Cavaliers have defied preseason prognostications. Picked last in the Preseason MEC Coaches' Poll, first-year Head Coach Jamie Cluesman has had seven different players score 10 or more points at least once this season. Overall, UVa-Wise has six players averaging five or more points per game while 11 players see at least 10 minutes of action per game played.
