The Wildcats are 6-0 for the first time since 1984-85 and are looking to extend their win streak to seven games for the first time since the 1982-83 season. The Cats smashed the school record and tied the NCAA record for blocked shots in a game with 19 swats in their 71-40 victory over the Aggies. Sophomore center Sarah Elliott (McKee, Ky.) tied the individual school record with six blocks vs. North Carolina A&T.

?We are looking forward to playing Georgetown tomorrow,? UK Coach Mickie DeMoss said. ?They are a solid team that is in the rebuilding process with a second-year coach. Playing two games in three days like this will help us down the road in preparing for tournament situations.?

Junior guard Jenny Pfeiffer (North Vernon, Ind.) leads two Wildcats in double-figure scoring, averaging 11.5 points per game. Sophomore Samantha Mahoney (Detroit) follows with 10.8 ppg, while sophomore forward/center Eleia Roddy (Columbus, Ohio) is UK?s leader on the boards with 7.7 rebounds per game.

Georgetown is 4-2 this season after capturing a 59-44 victory over Appalachian State last week.
