Preview: Lamar Lady Cardinals at Houston Christian Huskies HOUSTON (Interstat) — The Lamar Lady Cardinals, riding a three-game winning streak, will look to solidify their position in the conference standings when they visit the Houston Christian Huskies on Thursday, Feb. 26, 2026, at Sharp Gymnasium. Lamar (17-9) enters the matchup with momentum following an 84-54 rout of New Orleans on Saturday. The Lady Cardinals showcased a balanced attack in that victory, with Jacei Denley (11 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists), Alexis Parker (12 points, 11 rebounds) and Solenne Olenga (13 points, 12 rebounds) all posting double-doubles. Denley, a versatile guard, has been a key facilitator during Lamar’s streak, averaging 7.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists over her last three contests. Her all-around play will be central against Houston Christian. The Huskies (8-18) aim to rebound from a 70-64 road loss at Northwestern State. They are led by forward Grace Booth, who recorded a 22-point, 10-rebound double-double in that defeat. Booth has been a consistent scorer, averaging 15.1 points over her last seven games, including a 17-point performance in a win over Texas A&M-Commerce on Feb. 19. This is the second meeting between the teams this season. Lamar won the first matchup 66-54 at home on Jan. 8. The Lady Cardinals have found success with a stifling defense, holding opponents to 55.3 points per game during their current win streak. Houston Christian, which averages 57.8 points per game, will need an efficient offensive night to challenge. Lamar holds a decisive edge in the season series and recent form, but the Huskies have shown they can be competitive at home, boasting conference wins over New Orleans and Texas A&M-Commerce in Sharp Gymnasium this month. Following this game, Lamar will travel to face Incarnate Word on Saturday. Houston Christian will remain at home to host Stephen F. Austin the same day. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. CST.
