GREENSBORO, N.C. – Having won its last two games, the UNCG women's basketball team begins a seven-game homestand by welcoming former Southern Conference rival College of Charleston to Fleming Gymnasium for an afternoon matchup. Tipoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. Live stats and a video stream of the game are available free of charge courtesy of the UNCG athletics department.

If the Spartans can knock off the Cougars, it will mark the first time since Feb. 7-12 of 2011 that UNCG will have won three consecutive games. College of Charleston won both meetings last season, including an 88-61 decision at Fleming Gymnasium Dec. 3, 2012.

UNCG enters the game with a 2-2 record after downing South Carolina State 72-63 in the home opener and Norfolk State 73-66 on the road. Senior forward Janae' Stevenson (Columbia, S.C./Eau Claire) exploded for a career-high 24 points and matched her personal best in rebounding with 15 boards. The Spartans ended the game on a 31-12 run and rallied from as much as 12 points down in the second half. In addition to Stevenson's efforts, sophomore guard Lucy Mason (Stone Mountain, Ga./Chamblee Charter) went off for 13 points while sophomore guard Jazmine Missouri (Kensington, Md./Academy of the Holy Cross) posted the first double-figure scoring performance of her career with 10 points. The two guards combined to go 12-for-14 from the free throw line as well.

UNCG shot nearly 50 percent in the second half to end up at 36.4 percent for the game. The visiting Spartans also out-rebounded Norfolk State by five at 43-38 and picked up a whopping 17 offensive boards. The Blue and Gold held NSU's second-leading scorer Rachel Gordon to just four points in the contest while hitting 22 of 31 free throw attempts to finish 71 percent from the line. UNCG also committed a season-low 15 turnovers while forcing 21 by Norfolk State. The Spartans are shooting the ball at 34 percent from the field and are averaging right at 40 rebounds per game.

College of Charleston is 2-2 on the season after defeating USC Upstate 75-71 on the road Nov. 17. The Cougars have suffered losses to Winthrop and South Carolina while defeating Kennesaw State for its other victory. College of Charleston is led in scoring by Afreyea Tolbert who is averaging 13.8 points per game. She is also the top rebounder on the squad checking in at 9.8 boards per contest. The Cougars average 66.2 points and 46.0 rebounds as a team while shooting the ball at a .344 clip from the field, .246 from three-point range and .627 at the charity stripe.

The Blue and Gold leads the all-time series between the schools 22-14, but College of Charleston captured both meetings last season when the Cougars were still members of the Southern Conference.

Following the game with College of Charleston, UNCG will continue its homestand with a contest against VCU Wednesday, Nov. 27, at 1 p.m.
