Brooke is currently 5th in conference play with an average of 15.8 points per game. She is also ninth in the MIAC with 6.8 rebounds per game, second with 4.5 assists per game, and second with a 4.5 assist-to-turnover ratio.
The Wildcats resume play on January 3, 2009 when they travel to St. Peter and face current MIAC leader, Gustavus Adolphus College.
