LIVINGSTON, Ala. – The West Alabama women's basketball team will host Miles College on Thursday, November 21, at 5 p.m. in Pruitt Hall.

The Tigers (0-2) aim to secure their first victory of the season against a Golden Bears team that also seeks its first win (0-1).  
 
West Alabama has shown flashes of potential, particularly from senior forward Jordan Parker, who leads the team with 10.5 points per game while shooting an impressive 47.1% from the field. Kendall Lacoste and Julia Rodriguez add 8.0 and 7.0 points per game, respectively, providing additional scoring threats.  

Despite their efforts, the Tigers have struggled offensively, shooting just 27.6% from the floor and averaging 49.5 points per game. Rebounding has also been a challenge, as UWA has been outrebounded by an average of 11.5 boards per game.  

UWA will need to focus on improving their defensive presence and limiting turnovers, as they've forced an average of 8.0 steals per game and scored 15.0 points off turnovers, showing their ability to capitalize on opponents' mistakes.  
 
Miles College opened their season with a 65-50 loss but showed promise on the boards, outrebounding their opponent 49-32. Feliah Greer leads the Golden Bears with 13 points and nine rebounds per game, while Makayla Rieves adds 10 points and seven rebounds per contest.  

Offensively, the Golden Bears shoot 37.3% from the field but struggle from beyond the arc, converting just 14.3% of their three-point attempts. Additionally, their 30 turnovers in their season opener highlight an area of vulnerability that West Alabama's defense could exploit.  

Fans are encouraged to attend Thursday's matchup at Pruitt Hall to cheer on the Tigers as they look to claim their first win of the season.
