FOR STARTERS: SFA (11-14, 6-8) travels to Huntsville on Wednesday to take on the Bearkats (13-12, 9-4) for the first time this season. Wednesday also marks the final road game of the regular season for the Ladyjacks.
LAST TIME OUT: Porsha Roberts scored a career-high 32 points and the Stephen F. Austin Ladyjacks rallied from six points down in the first overtime to defeat Southeastern Louisiana 83-80 in double overtime at the University Center Saturday afternoon. SFA snapped a two-game losing streak by scoring a season-high in points, including a 7-4 advantage in the all-important second overtime.
