    LAST TIME OUT: Despite four players scoring in double-figures and tying a season-high in field goal percentage and three-point makes, the Stephen F. Austin Ladyjacks were unable to slow down the dynamic duo of Kevi Luper (30 points) and Jaci Bigham (26 points) in a 68-64 loss to the Golden Eagles Saturday afternoon at William R.

    HISTORY VS. NIC: The Ladyjacks are 40-4 all-time against Nicholls, including a 74-66 victory over the Colonels earlier this season in Nacogdoches.

    BENCH PRODUCTION: The Ladyjacks have now won the bench scoring comparison in 20 of 23 games after outscoring ORU 28-2. SFA is averaging 23.1 points per game off their bench, 13 points better than their opponents (10.8).

    PORSHA SEEING DOUBLE: Sophomore center Porsha Roberts has scored in double-figures in eight consecutive games and is averaging 14.5 point per game in Southland Conference play on 56 percent shooting from the field.
