The school began use of the Marine Corps’ official nickname, “The Fighting Leathernecks”, in 1927 when then-athletic director and head baseball, basketball and football coach Ray “Rock” Hanson was granted permission by the U.S. Navy, based on his status as a Marine hero, to use the Marine’s official seal, bulldog mascot and nickname. 1 FOLLOW LEATHERNECK BASKETBALL: @WIUWBB THE STAT CREW SYSTEM Western Illinois2018-19 Combined Combined Team Statistics Statistics (as of Jan 08, 2019) All games RECORD: OVERALL HOME AWAY NEUTRAL ALL GAMES 5-11 4-3 0-5 1-3 CONFERENCE 1-2 1-1 0-1 0-0 NON-CONFERENCE 4-9 3-2 0-4 1-3 Total 3-Point F-Throw Rebounds ## Player gp-gs min avg fg-fga fg% 3fg-fga 3fg% ft-fta ft% off def tot avg pf dq a to blk stl pts avg 13 Olivia Kaufmann 16-16 487 30.4 78-193 .4 0 4 20-61 .3 2 8 60-76 .7 8 9 35 49 84 5.3 47 3 50 58 5 42 236 14.8 24 Taylor Higginbotham 16-16 474 29.6 73-179 .4 0 8 32-85 .3 7 6 39-46 .8 4 8 32 90 122 7.6 41 1 26 55 4 34 217 13.6 14 Elizabeth Lutz 16-6 314 19.6 54-123 .4 3 9 26-84 .3 1 0 7-10 .7 0 0 9 14 23 1.4 45 1 17 13 4 18 141 8.8 01 Annabel Graettinger 13-13 393 30.2 38-104 .3 6 5 7-36 .1 9 4 55-73 .7 5 3 6 19 25 1.9 18 0 34 41 7 17 138 10.6 21 Grace Gilmore 16-16 432 27.0 42-115 .3 6 5 12-41 .2 9 3 38-53 .7 1 7 15 63 78 4.9 42 2 27 44 2 23 134 8.4 33 Jinda Guidinger 16-6 287 17.9 33-87 .3 7 9 6-29 .2 0 7 19-30 .6 3 3 20 31 51 3.2 21 0 14 13 1 13 91 5.7 04 Danni Nichols 16-4 266 16.6 26-67 .3 8 8 5-26 .1 9 2 23-38 .6 0 5 19 25 44 2.8 16 0 13 19 3 21 80 5.0 32 Kyra Washington 13-1 205 15.8 28-62 .4 5 2 21-48 .4 3 8 2-3 .6 6 7 5 25 30 2.3 7 0 4 8 6 6 79 6.1 30 Avery Hamm 16-2 219 13.7 16-55 .2 9 1 15-53 .2 8 3 3-4 .7 5 0 1 20 21 1.3 9 0 7 16 2 8 50 3.1 22 Mackenzie Rogers 14-0 101 7.2 9-22 .4 0 9 6-17 .3 5 3 0-0 .0 0 0 2 5 7 0.5 13 0 5 8 0 3 24 1.7 10 Payton Courier 6-0 23 3.8 1-5 .2 0 0 1-5 .2 0 0 1-2 .5 0 0 0 3 3 0.5 1 0 2 3 0 1 4 0.7 Team 22 29 51 6 Total.......... 16 3201 398-1012 .3 9 3 151-485 .3 1 1 247-335 .7 3 7 166 373 539 33.7 260 7 199 284 34 186 1194 74.6 Opponents...... 16 3200 471-1045 .4 5 1 151-416 .3 6 3 165-225 .7 3 3 225 485 710 44.4 365 8 308 374 59 156 1258 78.6 TEAM STATISTICS WIU OPP Date Opponent Score Att.
