The Lady Toppers are scheduled to face Southern Miss on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. and will follow with a home game against Louisiana Tech on Saturday at 2 p.m. to begin their league slate.
WKU (7-4) hasn't played since a double-overtime victory at Fairleigh Dickinson on Dec. 17 – it had a game scheduled for Dec. 22 at Belmont canceled – and the Lady Toppers enter with wins in six of their last seven games.
Meral Abdelgawad leads WKU with 18.
