ABOUT TUSKEGEE (10-8, 7-4 SIAC)
Tuskegee's offense has been led by a combination of reliable scorers and all-around contributors, most notably Brittney Bolin, who leads the team with 11.4 points and 1.8 steal per game.
 
Her ability to score efficiently from the free-throw line, where she shoots 84.8 percent, along with 3.9 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game, has been critical for the Golden Tigers.
 
Hilani Cantone, contributing 10.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game has also been pivotal, especially in defensive situations with 1.7 steals per game.
 
Additionally, the team benefits from the steady play of Jasmine Manuel, who contributes 7.2 points per game and leads the squad with 6.8 rebounds per contest, followed by Shemaiah Mackin at 6.0 points and 4.6 rebounds per contest, both often providing the energy needed to keep the team balance from the inside.
 
Tuskegee has improved on their defensive pressure, averaging 8.8 steals per game and a solid +2.6 turnover margin. This has been a key factor in their win streak, with the team being able to stifle their opponents' offensive rhythm.
 
ABOUT LANE (12-5, 8-3 SIAC)
Lane enters the game with a powerful scoring attack led by Chantoryia Rivers, who averages 11.4 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, and Dyani Bernstine, averaging 10.8 points and 7.6 rebounds per game.
 
Their offensive strategy has been a consistent force, as both players also contribute significantly in other areas, including rebounds and assists. Efforts on the glass from Bernstine and Rivers bolster Lane's ability to control the glass.
 
Lane has faced challenges with their shooting efficiency, as they have struggled from beyond the arc with a 25.8 percent shooting percentage from three-point range.
 
While having a solid defensive effort with 13.2 steals per game, has been vulnerable to turnovers, averaging 22.8 turnovers per game.
 
As both teams vie for a higher seed in the SIAC standings, this game will be crucial for maintaining momentum.
 
Lane's strong record at home could pose a challenge, but Tuskegee's recent form and balanced team play make them a dangerous opponent.
 
Fans can expect a competitive contest between these two teams with high stakes for the rest of the season.
