CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Interstat) — The Queens Royals will seek to avenge a late-January loss and solidify their position in the ASUN Conference standings when they host the West Georgia Wolves on Saturday at Levine Center. The Royals (16-12) enter the matchup with a stronger overall record than the Wolves (12-15), but West Georgia secured a 74-66 victory when the teams met in Carrollton, Georgia, on Jan. 24. In that game, West Georgia’s Shelton Williams-Dryden dominated with 24 points and 11 rebounds, while Queens’ Yoav Berman was held to 10 points. Both key players enter this rematch in strong form. Williams-Dryden, a dynamic guard/forward for the Wolves, is averaging 21.4 points over his last seven games, including a 24-point, 11-rebound performance in the first matchup against Queens. He is coming off a 20-point effort in an 81-80 overtime loss at Eastern Kentucky on Wednesday. For the Royals, guard Yoav Berman has been a consistent facilitator and scorer, averaging 14.9 points and 5.1 assists per game this season. He posted 16 points and two assists in Queens’ most recent outing, an 85-78 road win at North Alabama on Wednesday. The game features teams with contrasting recent trajectories. Queens has won three of its last four, including conference victories over Lipscomb and North Florida at home. West Georgia has struggled on the road, losing its last two away games at Central Arkansas and Eastern Kentucky, but has shown it can compete with top-half conference foes, as evidenced by its win over Queens earlier this season. A victory would help Queens maintain momentum heading into its final regular-season road trip next week. West Georgia aims to split its two-game road swing and build confidence before returning home to face Lipscomb next Wednesday. Tipoff is scheduled for Saturday afternoon in Charlotte.
