CHARLESTON, Ill. (Interstat) — The Arkansas-Little Rock Trojans visit the Eastern Illinois Panthers on Saturday in a women’s NCAA Division I matchup at Lantz Arena, looking to complete a regular-season sweep. The Trojans (12-13) edged the Panthers (4-22) 55-47 in Little Rock on Jan. 15. Arkansas-Little Rock enters having lost three of its last four, including an 84-73 defeat at Western Illinois on Thursday. Eastern Illinois seeks to halt a five-game skid following a 93-49 loss at Western Illinois on Tuesday. A key matchup will feature Arkansas-Little Rock’s Jordan Holman against Eastern Illinois’ Adriana Arroyo. Holman, coming off a 23-point performance in the loss to Western Illinois, has been a consistent offensive force. She averaged 17.1 points over her last eight games, including a 22-point, 14-rebound double-double in a win over SIU Edwardsville on Feb. 7. Arroyo provided a bright spot for the Panthers in their recent blowout loss, scoring nine points in 16 minutes off the bench. Her season has been marked by fluctuating minutes, but she has shown scoring ability in limited opportunities. The Trojans have struggled with consistency but possess more firepower, averaging roughly 60 points per game during their recent stretch. Eastern Illinois, averaging just over 52 points per game during its losing streak, will need a significant defensive effort to contain Holman and improve on its January offensive output against the Trojans. Following this game, Arkansas-Little Rock returns home to host Tennessee-Martin on Feb. 19. Eastern Illinois remains at home to face Morehead State on the same date. Tipoff is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 14, 2026.
