LEBANON, Tenn. - - Women's basketball look to build on their first conference win as they face Georgetown College (RV) at the Dallas Floyd Phoenix Arena. 

The Phoenix will look to build some momentum after their impressive first conference victory over No. 21 University of the Cumberlands, the teams battled hard in a closely fought contest where Cumberland only went behind once in the second half, but with some big plays got the 65-61 victory. 

The Phoenix enter Saturday's match up with a 15-10 record, going 1-8 in the conference play. This is the second match up between the two teams this season with the previous game going to the wire, as the Tigers took the narrow 63-64 win on a final second free throw, so the Phoenix will be hungry to turn the tide and get the win on their home court. 

Cumberland will be hoping that Ty Buckley keeps up her recent form, as she hit 17 points and eight rebounds against the Patriots. Emaleigh Tarpley picked five rebounds and is second in the conference in rebounding. The junior also went four for four from the free throw line, while Braley Bushman went five for eight from the field with two rebounds and Riley Long picked up 11 points against the Patriots.

Georgetown come into this weekend's game with a 18-7 record, going 3-6 in the conference. The Tigers recent match up saw them defeat the University of the Cumberlands 72-57 so will be hoping to make it back to back victories themselves. 

Daisy Gale will be a player the Phoenix will have to be wary of as she is coming off a 28 point game against the Patriots where she went nine for 20 from the field, picked up six rebounds, and was eight for nine on the free throw line.
