OPENING TIP: The Tennessee State women's basketball team will spend the weekend in the Buckeye State with a morning game against Wright State on Friday and an afternoon contest at Dayton on Sunday. 

SERIES INFORMATION VS. WRIGHT STATE: Friday marks the 3rd all-time meeting between TSU and Eastern Kentucky, with Wright State leading the series 2-0.

SERIES INFORMATION VS. DAYTON: Sunday will be the first all-time meeting between TSU and Dayton.

LIPSCOMB BY THE NUMBERS: 

Kamara's Career-High Performance: Somah Kamara led TSU with a career-high 22 points, shooting an efficient 9-for-14 from the field. Kamara's impressive scoring kept TSU within reach despite the loss to Lipscomb.

Struggles from Beyond the Arc: TSU shot just 2-for-12 from three-point range (16.7%), which limited their ability to close the scoring gap. The team's difficulties from deep contributed to a slow offensive start.

Fourth-Quarter Push: TSU found momentum late in the game, shooting 57.1% from the field in the fourth quarter. Their improved offense in the final minutes showed resilience as they tried to rally back.

Strong Bench Contributions: TSU's bench provided a lift with 15 points, led by Kiki Roberts' 8 points and 6 rebounds. The bench effort added depth, but TSU ultimately fell short in a hard-fought contest.
