• TWU has won 16 consecutive games, with their last loss in conference play coming Oct. 19, 2019 on the road against Alberta (3-2).
• Brandon will be looking to halt a four-game losing streak after starting the season 11-1. They most recently lost to Calgary at home (3-0, 3-1).
• TWU's Eric Loeppky enters the weekend just 30 kills back of Nicholas Del Bianco (2010-2014) for sole possession of third all-time in program kills. In last Friday's win, Loeppky broke the conference career aces record with his 147^th career ace.
• TWU holds a 15-9 all-time record against Brandon in conference play.
