NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Interstat) — Two ASUN Conference women’s basketball teams seeking momentum will meet Saturday when the Lipscomb Bisons host the North Florida Ospreys at Allen Arena.

Both teams enter the matchup on the heels of contrasting Thursday results. North Florida (8-12) earned a narrow 69-66 road victory at Austin Peay, while Lipscomb (7-13) fell at home to Jacksonville, 72-54. The game is a quick rematch of a Jan. 1 contest in Jacksonville, which Lipscomb won 67-65.

The Ospreys will lean on guard Alonya Waldon, who is coming off a season-high 24-point, five-assist performance in 38 minutes against Austin Peay. Over her last eight games, Waldon has averaged 15.4 points and 3.0 assists, including two other 20-point outings. She will be supported by Jamisyn Stinson (18 points vs. Austin Peay) and Dezuray McGill (11 points vs. Austin Peay).

Lipscomb counters with its own offensive leader in Molly Heard. The guard scored 13 points in the loss to Jacksonville and has been a consistent scorer in conference play. She poured in 23 points in a win over Florida Gulf Coast on Jan. 24 and averaged 17.0 points over a recent four-game stretch. McKayla Miller, who had 15 points against Jacksonville, provides additional scoring.

Statistically, the teams have mirrored each other’s struggles this season. Both have found wins elusive outside of conference play and have endured scoring droughts. North Florida’s victory Thursday snapped a two-game skid, while Lipscomb aims to rebound from a defeat where it managed just 54 points.

The matchup could hinge on perimeter play and which team establishes an early offensive rhythm. North Florida will look to capitalize on its recent late-game execution, while Lipscomb aims to defend its home court and split the season series.

Following this game, North Florida returns home to host Stetson on Feb. 5. Lipscomb remains at home to face Eastern Kentucky on Feb. 4.

Tipoff is set for Saturday, Jan. 31, 2026.
