       On the women's side, the Lady Bulldogs (9-11 overall, 4-5 MEAC) takes on a talented Lady Aggie (10-13 overall, 5-5 MEAC) coached by legendary coach Patricia Bibbs.

          Junior point guard Tiara Knotts leads the team in scoring with 12.3 ppg, while forward Paris Alston and guard Cabriel Durnen averaging a little over 8.5 points per outing. Junior forward Tiana Hemphill leads the team in rebounding grabbing 8.3 boards per contest.

         Both teams will return to action on Monday when they travel to Durham, NC to take on NC Central in a crucial MEAC doubleheader. Tipoff is 5:30 p.m., with the men following immediately after.
