ARKADELPHIA, Ark. -- After a week-and-a-half long hiatus for Christmas break, Henderson State returns to action on Saturday when the Reddies square off with Midwestern State in their final non-conference game of the year at 2 p.m. in the Duke Wells Center.

REDDIES REPORT
- Henderson State won a barn-burner before Christmas when the Reddies outlasted Southeastern Oklahoma 94-92 in Durant, Oklahoma, on Dec. 18. HSU got 27 points, 10 rebounds, six assists and three blocks from Pink Jones and hit a season-high 14 3-pointers in the big win.

- For her efforts, Pink Jones was named Great American Conference Player of the Week for the second time this season and the third time in her career. Jones currently averages 17.6 points and 3.9 assists per game, which puts her in the Top-10 in the league in both categories. She scored the 1000th point of her career in the first quarter against SOSU. She is just the 13th player in program history to eclipse the 1000-point mark.
