PREVIEW: Lady Cougars Take Streak to Tullahoma
January 8, 2020

Women's Basketball will look to win their fifth straight game on Wednesday evening as they travel to Tullahoma, Tenn. to face Motlow State in their first TCCAA matchup in 2020. Tip-off is scheduled for 6:30 ET.

The Lady Cougars, who have a 4-1 conference record and are 8-5 overall after a win vs. Gadsden State Saturday, hold the third spot in the conference standings. Motlow State sits at ninth in the TCCAA with a 3-12 overall mark and a 1-5 record in TCCAA games. They won their last game at Itawamba Community College on Monday.

Cleveland State will look to get revenge after last season's TCCAA Tournament, in which the Lady Bucks eliminated the Lady Cougars in a tight 77-72 game. History is on their side, as since 2003, Cleveland State holds a 22-11 edge in the series with Motlow State.

After this matchup, the Lady Cougars will return home to host Columbia State on Saturday. Gametime is scheduled for 2:00 ET.
