BEAUMONT, Texas - With seven consecutive wins in a row and out of first place in the Southland Conference by just one game, Lamar University's women's basketball team will look to make their last home game at the Montagne Center a memorable one as they will look to battle with New Orleans at 3:00 p.m., this Saturday. It will also be senior day as Brooklyn Mitchell and Malay McQueen will be honored for their careers at LU.

SECRET SEVEN
Lamar is currently the hottest team in the Southland Conference having won a season best seven straight games. At 17-10, LU is currently sitting in third place with a conference record of 11-5 and are one game back of Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and Southeastern Louisiana, whom LU defeated Thursday night.  

EIGHT IS ENOUGH. SO IS 14
Akasha Davis racked up her eighth double-double on the season and 14th in her career when she scored 22 points and grabbed 16 rebounds in the win over SLU. Davis is now tied for fourth in the conference with 13.8 points per game along with teammate Sabria Dean. Davis will need one more point for 700 career points in only first two seasons.

SAY IT AIN'T SO BROOKLYN & MALAY?
Saturday's game will be senior night as Brooklyn Mitchell and Malay McQueen will be honored for their careers at LU. McQueen also tallied her 600th career point against SLU.
