EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. (Interstat) — A key Ohio Valley Conference women’s basketball matchup awaits Saturday as the SIU Edwardsville Cougars host the Tennessee-Martin Skyhawks at Vadalabene Center. The game is a quick rematch of a Jan. 15 contest won by Tennessee-Martin, 64-55, on its home floor. The Skyhawks (12-11, 6-4 OVC) will look to complete the season sweep, while the Cougars (11-14, 4-6) aim to defend their home court and level the series. Tennessee-Martin enters having dropped a narrow 54-49 road game at Lindenwood on Thursday. The Skyhawks are led by guard Zakheria Thompson, who scored 21 points in that loss and has averaged 14.1 points over her last seven games. Her backcourt production will be vital for a Skyhawks team seeking more consistent offense after being held under 55 points in two of their last three outings. SIU Edwardsville arrives with momentum from a 69-61 home victory over Southeast Missouri State on Thursday. Guard Kiyoko Proctor powered that win with 18 points and five assists, continuing her strong playmaking role. She has scored in double figures in five of her last six games. The Cougars’ defense, which forced 18 turnovers in the first meeting, will need another disruptive effort to contain Thompson and the Skyhawks’ attack. Tennessee-Martin’s defense, meanwhile, must contend with a balanced SIU Edwardsville lineup that saw Lauren Miller (15 points) and Syanne Mohamed (12 points) join Proctor in double figures last game. With both teams jockeying for position in the OVC standings ahead of the final stretch of the regular season, Saturday’s contest carries significant weight. Tipoff is set for 2 p.m. CST.
