1/10/2020 4:10:00 PM | Women's Basketball
The University of Tennessee at Martin women's basketball team will play host to Ohio Valley Conference rival Belmont on Saturday, Jan. 11. Tipoff from the Kathleen and Tom Elam Center is scheduled for 2 p.m. as the front end of a doubleheader matchup and will be streamed exclusively on ESPN+.
The matchup will pit two of the league's perennial championship contenders against each other. The Skyhawks won four OVC regular season titles and four OVC tournament titles over the course of five seasons while the Bruins have reigned supreme as of late with three straight OVC titles and four NCAA Tournament berths. Dating back to the 2011-12 season, UT Martin (108-27, 80.0 percent) and Belmont (97-22, 81.5 percent) have combined to post a 205-49 (80.7 percent) overall record against conference foes. The two programs have also combined to tab eight OVC regular season titles and eight of the last nine NCAA Tournament berths.
The Skyhawks (7-7, 3-0 OVC) enter the contest riding a three-game winning streak following a pair of road victories at Murray State and Austin Peay before overcoming a slow start against Tennessee State en route to an 88-71 victory on Thursday night. Four-time OVC Player of the Week Chelsey Perry paced the Skyhawks with 22 points and eight rebounds while Tamiah Stanford tallied a career-high with 20 points off the bench. As a whole, four different Skyhawks scored in double figures in the contest as Perry and Stanford were joined by Maddie Waldrop (18 points, eight rebounds) and Dasia Young (10 points).
Belmont (8-6, 3-0 OVC) is tied atop the league standings with UT Martin after home wins over SIUE, Eastern Illinois and a road matchup at Southeast Missouri. The Bruins boast three Preseason All-OVC selections in Preseason Player of the Year Ellie Harmeyer (17.9 ppg, 11.3 rpg), Maura Muensterman (9.0 ppg) and Maddie Wright (7.6 ppg, 7.4 rpg). In the team's most recent matchup against Southeast Missouri, Harmeyer led the Bruins with 27 points and 15 rebounds while Muensterman chipped in 13 points.
Saturday's matchup marks the 37th meeting between the two programs in a series which dates back to both squad's Division II days. Belmont leads the all-time series 24-12 while both team have won eight of the 16 meetings against each other dating back to the 2009-10 campaign.
