Tipoff is scheduled for 5:30pmCT tomorrow at Biggers Sports Center, 360 Spickard Drive, Columbia, KY.

The Blue Raiders (5-3, 2-1 MSC) enter the match after defeating a depleted Shawnee State (OH) side 83-63 last evening, pushing the Blue Raiders to fifth in the conference standings.

Glover also is averaging 2.8 blocks per game, the ninth-highest average in the NAIA. As a team, the Blue Raiders are averaging 74.1 points per game and are shooting 42.3 percent from the floor.

As for the Saints (7-1, 3-0 MSC), they enter the match on a six-game win streak including wins over No. 6 Carroll (Mont.) and No. 15 St. Xavier (Ill.). The Saints are perfect in conference play to start the year after defeating Cumberland (Tenn.) away from home 75-70 last evening.

Junior guard Summer Secrist leads the Saints in scoring averaging 15 points per game while junior guard Emily Simon ranks tenth in the conference averaging 14.4 PPG. Graduate forward Alexah Chrisman leads the team in rebounds per game averaging 8.5, ranking fifth in the conference.
