LIVINGSTON, Ala. – The University of West Alabama women's basketball team opens the home portion of its 2018-19 season by entertaining Fort Valley State Tuesday at Pruitt Hall Gym. Tipoff is set for 5:30 p.m.

Both the Tigers and the Wildcats come into the game with 0-2 records. West Alabama lost to Eckerd College and Embry-Riddle over the weekend in the Bahama House Regional Crossover. Fort Valley lost to Valdosta State and West Florida in the Gulf South/SIAC Challenge over the weekend as well.
