Coming off a historic win at Columbia on Thursday night, the William Woods University women's basketball team will look to extend its current winning streak to three games against Williams Baptist on Saturday afternoon. The Lady Eagles are currently sitting in second place in the AMC by virtue of having one extra game in the books, as WBC took on Park in back-to-back contests to open the conference slate.

Currently ranked #25 in the NAIA Division I Coaches Poll, WWU has been solid through three conference games.

Andrews has been the team's leading rebounder in conference action, pulling down 7.7 per game with Aubuchon grabbing 6.7 and Miranda Loesch nabbing 4.7. Uncharacteristically, the Owls find themselves at a 34.3-37.0 disadvantage on the glass in conference play - WWU owns a 41.1-38.6 edge overall - but the tradeoff has been the result of better shooting from the Owls.
