Berglund helped the Eagles stamp a 2-1 record last week, securing MIAC wins over both Macalester College [70-46] and Bethel University [55-48]. She also led all scorers in all three contests and finished each game in double digits.

The junior guard put together her best game Saturday, as she logged a career-high 26 points on 12-of-16 shooting in UNW's hard-fought loss to Wisconsin-Eau Claire. 

On the season, Berglund is averaging just over 15 points per outing and is shooting better than 52 percent from the floor.

The squad will open up conference play on Wednesday, December 6, against Bethany Lutheran College. Game time is slated for 7:30 p.m. in Mankato. For more information on the women's program, fans should visit www.unweagles.com.
