GREENSBORO, N.C. – The UNCG women's basketball team (8-20, 0-13 SoCon) will host Western Carolina (6-21, 2-11 SoCon), at 2 p.m. in Fleming Gymnasium in the final game of the regular season. Last time the two teams met, Western Carolina defeated UNCG, 84-72, in Cullowhee, N.C.
Fans can watch the game live on the SoCon Digital Network with UNCG's Parker Southern on the call.
The Spartans will honor their four seniors Kaitlin Callahan (Windsor, Vt., Southern Maine), Jazmine Missouri (Largo, Md./Academy of the Holy Cross), Medena Bartley (Savannah, Ga./Beach) and Lucy Mason (Stone Mountain, Ga./Chamblee Charter) in a brief pregame ceremony.
UNCG is looking to end the regular season on a high note with a victory before prepping for the Southern Conference Tournament next week in Asheville, N.C.
Mason leads the Spartans with 22.2 points per game which ranks first in the SoCon and tenth nationally. India Timpton (Charlotte, N.C./Myers Park) and Jade Scaife (Fort Washington, Md./Archbishop Spalding) are tied for the team lead in rebounds per game with 7.1 while Bailey Williams (Harrisonburg, Va./Spotswood) is shooting 80.5 percent from the free throw line this season.
The Catamounts are led by Ace Easter who is averaging 11.9 points per game while Sherae Bonner is averaging 8.1 boards per game.
A win Saturday would solidify the Spartans best overall record during the senior class' four-year careers.
The Catamounts lead the all-time series 37-27 and have won the last 10 meetings.
