conference winning streak to a program-best nine games.
In Friday's 75-72 win over Birmingham Southern, Kulavic recorded
a double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds, and also added five
assists. She sank 7 of 12 attempts from the floor and was a perfect 3 of

assists and 2.0 steals per game while playing just 27 minutes per game.
She shot 56.5% from the floor (13-23), 66.7% from beyond the three-point
line (2-3) and was a perfect 5 of 5 from the free-throw line.
Kulavic is averaging a team-best 16.8 points per game (fifth in
the SCAC) and is 14th in the league in rebounding at 6.4 per game. She
leads the SCAC in field goal percentage at 66.0%. The season is still
early, but Kulavic would be the first guard to lead the league in
field goal percentage since Alyson Welch of Millsaps in 1993-94.
She is also seventh in the SCAC in assists (3.6 per game) and fourth in
free throw percentage (83.3%).
