2/9/2023 5:34:00 PM

EVANSVILLE - Wrapping-up a stretch of four of five games on the road, the University of Evansville women's basketball team makes a trip south to a pair of Missouri Valley Conference newcomers this weekend.

The Aces enter the weekend with hopes to continue climbing the MVC standings. Currently, Evansville sits in a log jam for sixth at 5-7, tied with UIC and SIU. With the jump to a 12-team tournament this year, the top four teams all get a bye in Hoops in the Heartland.

Evansville still holds the advantage in the all-time series at 2-1 despite dropping the matchup with the Bruins inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse less than two weeks ago. Belmont won the aforementioned earlier season contests between the two sides, 76-58, primarily fueled by a 17-0 run to open the game. Following the 17-point lead for Belmont, Evansville kept pace with the Bruins and even challenged with a late rally.

The Bruins are in the midst of a six-game winning streak dating back to January 20th that has helped Belmont bounce-back from a slow start in conference play to find itself tied for third in The Valley at 9-3.

Going into the weekend, Murray State owns a 23-15 advantage in the all-time series, but its the Aces who hold the upper hand in the season series. In front of a sellout crowd inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse on January 27th, Evansville earned a 75-67 win over the Racers, its first in the series since Nov. 12, 2017.

Dealing with the inverse of Belmont in its recent contests, Murray State is battling a six-game losing streak that has pushed the Racers into a tie for ninth in the MVC standings at 4-8
