NAPLES, Fla. (Interstat) — The Cincinnati Bearcats and Alabama A&M Bulldogs, both seeking to build momentum after challenging starts, will face off in a nonconference women’s basketball game Friday at Naples Center.

Cincinnati (2-4) enters the contest coming off its most dominant performance of the season, a 96-57 victory over Canisius on Sunday. Reagan Jackson led the offensive charge with 23 points, while Ramiyah Byrd recorded a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds. Caliyah DeVillasee facilitated the offense with 10 assists.

Alabama A&M (1-4) looks to rebound from a narrow 57-52 road loss to Nevada last Friday. In that game, Aniya Palmer scored 14 points, Coriah Beck added 12 points and Rakiyah Beal contributed 11 points. The Bulldogs’ lone win this season was a 103-32 rout of Talladega on Nov. 5.

The Bearcats have shown a high-powered offense at home, also scoring 100 points in a win over Georgetown, but have struggled on the road. Alabama A&M has faced a difficult early schedule with road losses to Power Five opponents Alabama and Mississippi.

This is the first game for both teams in a multi-team event at the Naples Center. Cincinnati will next play New Mexico at the same venue on Saturday, while Alabama A&M is scheduled to face Ball State.
