TOWSON, Md. (Interstat) — A surging College of Charleston squad looks to rebound from a rare setback when it visits a Towson team seeking consistency in a Colonial Athletic Association women’s basketball clash Friday night at SECU Arena. The Cougars (20-4), among the conference leaders, saw a seven-game win streak snapped with a 57-69 loss at Monmouth on Sunday. Prior to that, they had dominated league play, winning their previous seven contests by an average of 19.3 points. Towson (14-11) has alternated wins and losses over its last six games, coming off a narrow 70-75 road loss at William & Mary. The Tigers are 8-3 at home this season. The matchup features two of the CAA’s top individual performers. Charleston will rely on forward Grace Ezebilo, who is coming off a 10-point, 11-rebound double-double at Monmouth. In a dominant performance earlier this month, she grabbed 24 rebounds in a win at Campbell. For the Tigers, guard India Johnston provides explosive scoring. She poured in a career-high 31 points in the loss to William & Mary, marking her fourth 19-point game in the last month. Her offensive output will be crucial against Charleston’s stout defense. The Cougars’ depth has been key, with contributions from players like Taylor Barbot and Tyja Beans. Towson counters with supporting players like Thalia Shepard, who scored 13 points in the last outing. This game begins a critical final stretch for both teams ahead of the conference tournament. Charleston will aim to reassert its dominance, while Towson looks to secure a signature win to bolster its standing. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST Friday.
