ORANGEBURG, S.C. (Interstat) — Two teams looking to get back in the win column, the Queens (N.C.) Royals and South Carolina State Bulldogs, will meet in a nonconference women’s basketball game Thursday night at the SHM Memorial Center.

Both teams enter the contest with identical 2-2 records. The Royals are coming off a 75-69 road loss to Winthrop on Saturday. Jermany Mapp and Ana Barreto each scored 17 points in the defeat, while Breah Franks added 12 points and seven rebounds.

Queens has experienced dramatic swings in its early schedule, following a 58-47 victory over Gardner-Webb with an 87-38 loss at James Madison.

The Bulldogs also fell in their last outing, dropping a 78-69 decision at South Carolina Upstate on Monday. Shaunice Reed powered South Carolina State with 22 points in the loss. The Bulldogs’ two wins this season have been dominant performances against non-Division I opponents, but they fell 85-49 to Georgia in their other recent test.

Thursday’s game will be the final home contest for South Carolina State until Nov. 30. The Bulldogs will embark on a five-game road trip after hosting the Royals. Queens continues a challenging stretch of road games, traveling to face South Carolina on Sunday.
