ALABAMA HUNTSVILLE

SO…WE MEET AGAIN!?

The Lady Chargers won the first match up 62-58 to hand the Tigers their first loss of the season. UWA responded with a 55-54 win the next day to split the season series all in Pruitt Hall Gymnasium.

WE'VE BEEN EVERYWHERE, MAN
The road tour continues for the Tigers as the team will be playing its fifth and sixth straight road games. The Union and UAH trips were originally scheduled for the last two weekends, but the trips to Montevallo on Jan. 23 and Mississippi College on Jan. 26 were additions which stretched the time away from Livingston, Alabama.

ALL ELITE WOMEN
Three top ten conference players will take the court this weekend. Bria Dent and UAH's Alexis Woods both average a double-double with Dent going for 14.4 points and 10.1 rebounds and Woods putting up 16.6 points and 11.2 rebounds. Only other player averaging a double-double in the GSC is Delta State's Zyaire Ewing. Meanwhile, Tazsa Garrett-Hammett is scoring 15.1 points per game.

UP NEXT
