Women's Basketball continues road trip at Texas A&M-Texarkana

Riding the momentum of a two-game winning streak, the Wiley University women's basketball team continues its season-long seven-game road trek with a stop at Texas A&M-University Texarkana at 6 p.m. Tuesday inside the Patterson Student Center.

The matchup marks the sixth game of a seven-game road swing for the Lady Wildcats (12-4, 7-2 HBCUAC), who are 6-2 in road games and 3-0 against non-conference opponents.

Here is what to watch as the former Red River Athletic Conference (RRAC) rivals meet for the first time as non-conference opponents:

Familiar Foes, New Stakes

While Wiley now competes outside the RRAC, this contest represents the fourth time this season the Lady Wildcats have faced a familiar conference foe. Wiley previously swept a home-and-home series with Texas College and hosted LSU-Shreveport in October.

This is Wiley's first visit to Texarkana since Feb. 8, 2022. The all-time series between the two programs is currently deadlocked at 2-2.

Wildcats on a Roll

Wiley enters the contest following back-to-back victories over Southern University at New Orleans (65-49) and a thrilling 88-81 overtime win against Dillard University.

Key contributors during the streak include:

• Jessica Nerestant: Dominating the paint with a double-double average of 13.5 points and 10 rebounds per game.

• Keimora Banks: Providing consistent perimeter scoring at 13.5 points per contest.

The game also features a "revenge" narrative for Wiley's Alexis Foster, who returns to Texarkana after appearing in 23 games for the Lady Eagles last season.

Scouting the Lady Eagles

Texas A&M-Texarkana (12-3 RRAC) enters Wednesday on a four-game winning streak. While the Lady Eagles have been dominant in conference play, they have struggled against non-conference opponents, posting a 1-4 record in such games.

The Lady Eagles' attack is led by:

• Breyionce George: Averages 10.7 points and 5.6 rebounds.

• Imani Rothschild: The primary facilitator (3.4 assists per game) who is coming off a productive week where she averaged 14 points and five rebounds.

• Depth Concerns: While Eleionna Brown (13 ppg) and Chionne Dailey (11.7 ppg) provide high scoring outputs, they have appeared in only nine and 10 games, respectively.
