BEAUMONT, Texas.- After earning a third straight victory by knocking off UIW, Lamar University's women's basketball team travels down south to battle with the first place Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Islanders this Saturday. Hoping to keep elevate themselves near the top of the conference, LU's tip-off will be at 1:00 p.m.
 

THREE-GAME STREAKS

ENDED A GOOSE EGG

LU's 74-67 win Thursday night marked the first time all season LU won a game after trailing by the end of the third quarter. LU was down 57-54 going into the fourth before outscoring UIW 20-10.

LAST TIME AGAINST THE ISLANDERS

LU let an 11-point fourth quarter lead slip away against AMCC, who edged LU 61-59 in the final seconds. Because of this, LU now has a 19-12 advantage over AMCC.

SCOUTING THE ISLANDERS
