Preview: West Georgia at Lipscomb in ASUN Womenās Basketball NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Interstat) ā A surging West Georgia team visits a struggling Lipscomb squad in an ASUN Conference womenās basketball matchup Wednesday at Allen Arena. The West Georgia Wolves (16-9) enter on a high note after a dominant 95-74 road victory at Austin Peay on Saturday. The Wolves have won three of their last five, showcasing an offense that has scored 75 or more points in four of their last seven games. The Lipscomb Bisons (9-16), meanwhile, look to halt a two-game skid following a 70-66 home loss to Queens (N.C.) on Saturday. They have lost four of their last five contests. A key matchup will feature two of the conferenceās top performers. West Georgiaās Destiny Jones is coming off a career-high 25 points and nine rebounds in the win at Austin Peay. Over her last three games, the forward is averaging 17.7 points and 9.7 rebounds. She will be countered by Lipscombās Molly Heard, who has been a bright spot during the Bisonsā difficult season. Heard is averaging 18.1 points over her last eight games, including a 28-point, eight-rebound, three-block effort in the loss to Queens. West Georgiaās backcourt duo of Sydne Tolbert (30 points vs. Austin Peay) and Grace OāGara (12 points, five assists) provides additional firepower. Lipscomb will rely on Heard and consistent contributors Taylor Bowen and Maris Zurliene to keep pace. The Wolves won the seasonās first meeting, 88-76, at home on Jan. 17. Wednesdayās rematch offers Lipscomb a chance for home-court revenge and to improve its standing in the conference tournament chase, while West Georgia aims to solidify its position in the upper tier of the ASUN. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST.
