2/3/2023 9:00:00 AM | Women's Basketball
The University of Tennessee at Martin women's basketball team will make the short trek from Illinois across the Mississippi River for an inaugural matchup against new Ohio Valley Conference foe Lindenwood on Saturday, Feb. 4. Tipoff from Hyland Arena is slated for 1 p.m. and will be broadcast on ESPN+.
The Skyhawks (9-12, 6-5 OVC) enter the contest as winners of back-to-back games for the first time this season after picking up victories against Southern Indiana (68-56) and SIUE (83-64) by double figures. In the team's most recent matchup against SIUE, the Skyhawks came out firing on all cylinders by knocking down 12 three-pointers, dishing out 18 assists and forcing the Cougars to commit 26 turnovers en route to a 19-point victory.
Shae Littleford collected game-highs of 20 points and four steals while adding four assists and four rebounds for the Skyhawks in the win over SIUE. UT Martin also received 17 points from Josie Storey (5-of-7 from beyond the three-point arc), 13 points out of Sharnecce Currie-Jelks, 12 points from Paige Pipkin and 11 points out of Lexi Rubel.
UT Martin head coach Kevin McMillan boasts a career record of 261-172 in his 14 seasons at the helm of the Skyhawks – including a 175-59 record (74.8 percent) against OVC foes. The next road victory marks a career milestone for the program figurehead as he currently possesses 99 career road victories.
Lindenwood (1-18, 0-11 OVC) has faced a lot of adversity in its first season as a Division I program with their record reflecting zero Division I victories while last finding the win column back on Dec. 14 against NAIA foe Hannibal-La Grange. Recently, the Lions have had to forfeit its last three contests against UT Martin, Tennessee State and Eastern Illinois due to a lack of available players. With the cancellations, the Lions have not played in two weeks with their last matchup coming against Morehead State on Jan. 21.
The Lions top players is Mary McGrath which leads the team in points (12.4 ppg), rebounds (6.1 rpg), steals (1.7) and blocks (0.5). Devin Fuhring ranks second on the team with 10.3 points and 3.2 rebounds per game.
Saturday's contest marks the first meeting between the two programs in series history.
