TUCSON, Ariz. (Interstat) — Two undefeated streaks will be on the line Tuesday night when the unbeaten Arizona Wildcats host the surging Northern Colorado Bears in a nonconference women’s basketball matchup at McKale Center.

Arizona (4-0) has started the season strong, most recently defeating Northern Arizona 87-76 on Friday. Mickayla Perdue led the way with 27 points, while Sumayah Sugapong and Lani Cornfield each added 11.

The Wildcats will face a Northern Colorado team riding high on confidence. The Bears (5-1) are on a four-game winning streak, capped by a dramatic 61-60 road victory at DePaul on Saturday. Neenah George, Heather Baymon and Tatum West all scored in double figures in the win. Three of Northern Colorado’s five victories have come in overtime, including a 68-62 OT win against Campbell last Friday.

The game pits Arizona’s perfect record against a Northern Colorado squad whose only loss was a 56-53 defeat to Denver on Nov. 14. The Bears have proven resilient in close games, a trait they will likely need against a Wildcats team that has won its home games by an average of 17 points.

Tuesday’s contest is the first-ever meeting between the two programs. Following this game, Arizona will host Cal State Bakersfield on Saturday, while Northern Colorado returns home to face Chadron St. on Friday.
