  SAINT MARY'S CARDINALS SCOUTING REPORT
Saturday's game against Hamline is just the second road game of the season for the Cardinals, who play three home contests next week — vs. Augsburg next Tuesday, followed by back-to-back contests against Concordia on Saturday and Sunday. … Five of Saint Mary's last six victories — including their 78-55 win over Hamline in their first meeting this season — have come on their home court. … Ewelina Schlomann (New Berlin, Wis.) scored a team-high 12 points and Maggie Robertson (Orland Park, Ill.) chipped in 11 to pace the Cardinals against Gustavus Wednesday. … Scholmann's effort Wednesday marked the first time this season that Brooklyn Paulson (Holmen, Wis.) has not led or shared the team lead in scoring. … Paulson equaled her single-game career high, scoring 27 points in the Cardinals' 81-67 loss to Bethel on Feb. 6. … Saint Mary's put four players in double figures against Hamline in their first meeting on Feb. 2. Along with Paulson's team-high 17 points, Patterson added 15, and Jada Biermeier (Eau Claire, Wis.) and Maggie Robertson (Orland Park, Ill.) added 11 and 10 points, respectively.
