GREENSBORO, N.C. – The UNC Greensboro women's basketball team is taking a much-needed break from the state of South Carolina to return home for a Tuesday night battle against the College of Charleston.

Three of UNCG's next five games in December are against the College of Charleston, Elon, and UNCW. Ironically, all the contests are at home.
