PENSACOLA, Fla. - The West Florida women's basketball team begins February, the final month of the regular season, with a tough test at home against Delta State Feb. 5. before looking to avenge a December loss against Mississippi College Feb. 7.
The last time UWF (14-5, 11-4) played DSU (12-7, 10-5), the perennial GSC power was 4-5 overall and 2-3 in the conference. The Argos downed the Lady Statesmen in a comeback that ended in overtime. Since then, DSU has gone 8-1 and travels to Pensacola, Fla. on a four-game winning streak. Second-place UWF is one game ahead of third-place DSU in the GSC standings.
It was a different story the last time MC (8-11, 4-11) and UWF met. UWF was undefeated in conference play when MC handed the Argos their first GSC loss of the season. The Argos missed a buzzer-beater to lose to the Choctaws who now sit at the bottom of the GSC standings.
Senior Stepping Up
The lone senior on the 2014-15 roster,
Brianna Williams has been a consistent force throughout the season.

She was following up a 10-point performance with three assists and three steals two days before.
Williams leads the team in minutes per game with an average of 33.4 per game while averaging 10.4 points, three assists and 2.6 steals per game.
