Baker currently has 77 career outings in double-digits while Scott has 31.

MILESTONE-ACHIEVED
After hitting a milestone mark at Ole Miss with her 50th win at the helm of the Rebels coming against Texas A&M in February, McPhee-McCuin reached yet another career defining mark on Thursday against SEMO.

ANY TIME. ANY PLACE.
The Rebels were a powerful force on the road last season, as with the victory at Missouri, the Rebels moved to 8-1 on the road to set the most wins away from home for the program in the 21st century.

The win at Auburn tied the most road wins in a season since 1993-94 at nine.

BACK WHERE THEY LEFT OFF
