The Lady Cougars went 3-1 during the stretch of road games, including securing their first two conference wins of the season over Vol State and Roane State in their last game. They now sit at 3-3 overall and 2-0 in the TCCAA. The Lady Saluqis sit at 4-2 overall in the season, including a 1-1 record in the conference.

Since 2010, the series between these two teams has been highly contested, with Cleveland State holding a 9-8 edge over Southwest Tennessee.
