TOP WOMEN'S GAME

West Georgia (15-7, 8-1) at Valdosta State (15-6, 6-3)--Saturday 6 p.m. EST

The Braves will put their eight-game winning streak on the line against the Lady Blazers on the road. Ironically, it was a 47-45 upset win over a then nationally-ranked VSU squad that got the winning streak started for West Georgia. After a disappointing loss at Alabama-Huntsville last Saturday, the Lady Blazers won a hard-fought game in overtime over a scrappy North Alabama squad 64-61 Monday night. It'll be interesting to see if the VSU women can win a key game, and thus tighten up the race in the Gulf South Conference East Division.

#14 Alabama-Huntsville (19-3, 8-1) at #6 Montevallo (20-2, 8-1)--Saturday 4 p.m. CST
West Georgia (16-6, 5-4) at Valdosta State (13-8, 4-5)--Saturday 8 p.m. EST

The Falcons and Chargers will hook up for the second time this season, with first place in the Gulf South Conference East Division on the line. UM won the first meeting between the two teams in Huntsville 59-55 on Jan. 9. Meanwhile, down in south Georgia, VSU hopes to make the race for the GSC East's other three spots in next month's GSC tournament much tighter with a win over their fiercest arch-rival in the Braves. The Blazers picked up a critical win at North Alabama 90-82 Monday night, while the Braves got by West Alabama at home that same evening 79-74. Although they currently sit in a three-way tie for fourth place with UNA and Lincoln Memorial, the VSU men have already swept the season series with the Lions, but lost to the Railspitters on the road earlier this season. By the way, the Blazers will play host to this aforementioned LMU team Monday night.
