Scott Rueck (Oregon State '91) is 164-66 (.713) to date in his 9th season as a college head coach, all at George Fox.

George Fox is making its third appearance in the Division III NCAA Tournament, having also made it in 1999-2000 and 2000-01. Counting this year's 2nd-round win over Chapman, the Bruins are 3-2 in NCAA Tournament play.

St. Benedict's Heikenen is 19-for-21 (.905) in the NCAA Tournament from the free-throw line. During the postseason, she is 39-for-49 (.796) and on the season she is 143-for-194 (.737).

Trinity has won seven playoff games in a row, dating to 2003's national title run, and has never lost in two home playoff appearances.

In postseason play, the Blazers have blocked 24 shots, with their opponents recording only eight. The Blazers recorded a season-best 12 blocks against Simpson (March 2).

Trinity is 70-10 since Jenna Smith joined the team midway through the 2002-03 season. Smith leads the team in scoring, rebounding, and steals in the NCAA playoffs.
