LAKE CHARLES, Louisiana – The HCU women's basketball team is back on the road for a Southland matchup against the McNeese Cowgirls in the Legacy Center at 1pm Saturday afternoon.  
 
HCU (7-8, 2-2 SLC) lost at home to first place Texas A&M-Commerce in the schools first meeting since the Lions joined the Southland. Commerce had a tough start to the year but have gone scotch free so far in Southland play.

Collins is leading the Huskies offensively, averaging a career high 13.1 points per game while leading the team in rebounding, pulling in seven per game. She is shooting over 51 percent from the field and is knocking down three pointers at a 48 percent clip. Julija Vujakovic is second in scoring with 11.3 ppg. Enya Maguire leads the Huskies attack off the bench averaging just under seven points and is knocking down 47 percent of her three balls.  
 
McNeese (4-11, 1-3 SLC) started off Southland play with a win against Northwestern State before dropping a game to Commerce and losing a second matchup against NSU. Paris Mullins is the only Cowgirl averaging double figures at 10.2ppg.
