Men's Basketball (4-12, 3-5 UMAC)
- The Yellowjackets began their homestand last weekend making a slight resurgence in the conference, securing their first winning streak of the season by defeating Minnesota Morris 85-76 and Crown 84-74. Those wins moved UWS to a tie for sixth-place where they'll meet one of those teams this weekend as the Yellowjackets welcome North Central University to Superior on Friday night. Freshman forward Rafael Monteiro (São Paulo, Brazil/Santa Marcelina College) averaged 13.5 points and 13 rebounds in the two wins last week. The Rams fell last time out against Bethany Lutheran College, but had a two-game winning streak of their own in league play before that. Junior guard Travis Voight leads North Central averaging 16.8 points per game on the season. After that, UW-Superior will face another tough task as the UMAC's first-place team, the University of Northwestern, arrives at Mortorelli Gym on Saturday. The Eagles have six-straight victories and are an undefeated 5-0 in road games on the season. Senior Porter Mortell is averaging 16.0 points per game for Northwestern.

Women's Basketball (12-4, 8-0 UMAC)
- The Yellowjackets won their third-straight overall but moved to a perfect 28-0 in conference play since joining the UMAC last season as they picked up a pair of league victories, defeating Minnesota Morris 81-72 in the UMAC Game of the Week on Friday night before a dominant 71-40 victory over Crown on Saturday afternoon. Freshman forward Eva Reinertsen (Duluth, Minn./Homeschooled) led UWS in scoring for the third consecutive game, averaging 18.0 points on the weekend. This weekend, UW-Superior will look to make it four- and five-straight wins and an even 30-0 in the UMAC as the Yellowjackets host North Central and Northwestern. Coming to town Friday night, the Rams have lost 3-of-5 since the turn of the calendar to January. Junior guard Lizzy Swanson is North Central's biggest threat, averaging 18.9 points per game. On the other side, Northwestern has won 4-of-5 in 2017 and is currently third in the league standings. Junior Amy Berglund is averaging 14.6 points and 6.6 rebounds on the season for the Eagles.

Men's Hockey (6-11-1, 0-2-0 WIAC)
- UW-Superior made it two-in-a-row for the first time since a season-opening winning streak as the Yellowjackets knocked off Gustavus Adolphus 5-3 and Bethel 4-1 on the weekend. Senior Anton Svensson (Sodertalje, Sweden/Igelstavikens Gymnasium) earned the title of conference player of the week as he had a pair of multi-point games, with a goal and an assist Friday and two goals Saturday. The Yellowjackets will be off for 10 days before their homestand concludes with a non-conference match-up against WIAC foe the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. The Pointers currently rank No. 4 in the nation according to the U.S. College Hockey Online Division III Poll and picked up a 4-0 victory over UWS in Superior for conference play earlier this season.
