LAKE CHARLES, LA.- The Stephen F. Austin Ladyjacks women's basketball team (13-4, 3-3) continue their three-game road trip as they travel to Lake Charles, Louisiana to square off with the McNeese State University Cowgirls (7-9, 2-3).
Ladyjacks at a Glance:
The Ladyjacks will be looking to get back in the win column on Thursday night in Lake Charles after dropping their most recent game in a heart-breaking 77-74 loss to Lamar as Faith Blackstone's game-tying three-point attempt came up just short as it hit the front of the rim as time expired. Despite the loss, the Ladyjacks offense continues to excel as they tallied their sixth game in their last seven with at least 70 points, while boasting the best offense in the Southland as they average a healthy 80.6 points/game this season. The Ladyjacks will be looking to continue their pesky play away from the Sawmill as they hold a 4-3 road record, while looking to tally their fourth conference win of the year.
Cowgirls at a Glance:
The McNeese State Cowgirls will continue their three-game homestand looking to also get back in the win column as they dropped their homestand opener to Nicholls 60-47. The Cowgirls have still been a solid team at home this season despite the loss as they have posted a 4-3 home record and posted point totals of 99 and 105 in their first two home games of the season. The Cowgirls non-conference schedule was no small task as they faced off with Utah, BYU, and Oklahoma State, while tallying their first conference wins of the year with wins over East Texas A&M and Houston Christian before their most recent loss to Nicholls.
Scouting Report-Ladyjacks:
Faith Blackstone and Ashlyn Traylor-Walker have been the definition of consistency for the Ladyjacks recently as Blackstone has recorded double-digit point scoring efforts in seven of her last eight games while Traylor-Walker has recorded double-digit point outings in six of her last seven games as well. Avery VanSickle has been equally consistent for the 'Jacks especially from beyond the arc as she has made at least one three-pointer in nine of her last 10 games. Defensively, Ashlyn Traylor-Walker has been a force to be reckoned with as she has recorded at least one steal in every game this season for SFA.
Scouting Report-Cowgirls:
Paris Guillory has been the MVP of the Cowgirls offense as she leads the team averaging 16.3 points/game while draining 19 three-pointers. Mireia Yespes has been a workhorse for McNeese as she has started all 16 games this year and has scored a team-high 136 points. Kiayra Ellis has led the defensive effort for McNeese as she has blocked a team-leading 21 blocks while adding on eight steals.
Series:
Thursday's conference road matchup will feature the 66th all-time meeting between these two iconic Southland opponents with SFA leading the series 52-13. Thursday will mark the first time SFA has traveled to Lake Charles since 2019, as the Ladyjacks have won the previous six meetings between the two schools including the most recent one in 2019 when they posted a 82-51 win over the Cowgirls at the Sawmill.

THIBODAUX, LA.- The Stephen F. Austin Ladyjacks women's basketball team (13-4, 3-3) close out their three-game road trip in Thibodaux as they get set to duel the Nicholls University Colonels (10-5, 3-3).
Colonels at a Glance:
The Nicholls University Colonels will look to extend their current two-game winning streak as they return home for a short two-game homestand. The Colonels open the homestand against the Lamar University Cardinals on Thursday before hosting SFA on Saturday to close out the homestand. Nicholls has been no stranger to win streaks this year as they have posted four-game and three-game win streaks to go along with their current two-game win streak. The Colonels have been a tough team to beat on their home court this season as they have posted a 4-1 home record and have scored over 60 points in four of their five home games.
Scouting Report-Colonels:
Tanita Swift spearheads the Colonels offensive attack as her 15.9 points/game average leads the team and ranks her second in the Southland this year. Swift has also been an enforcer on defense as she leads the team in steals with 31. Deonna Brister and Britiya Curtis have formed a solid shooting duo from beyond the arc for Nicholls as both have made over 20 three-pointers.
Series:
Saturday's road matchup for the Ladyjacks will mark the 27th all-time meeting between these two Southland foes with the Ladyjacks leading the all-time series 20-6.
