KENNESAW, Ga. (Interstat) — The Kennesaw State Owls and South Carolina Upstate Spartans will meet in a nonconference women’s basketball game on Friday at the KSU Convocation Center.

The Spartans (3-5) are coming off a dominant 96-37 victory over Montreat on Tuesday. Cassie Gallagher led the offensive outburst with 22 points, while Lexi Castator added nine points, four assists and two blocks. Despite the lopsided win, Upstate has struggled against higher-level competition, with losses to Power Five opponents Kentucky, Georgia and Clemson by an average of 41 points.

The Owls (2-2) look to rebound after a 66-54 road loss to South Alabama on Tuesday. Keyarah Berry was a bright spot in the defeat, scoring a team-high 19 points. Kennesaw State’s season has been a mixed bag, featuring a narrow win over East Tennessee State and a one-point loss to Florida Atlantic.

Friday’s contest will be the final home game for the Owls before a two-game road trip, which includes a visit to Alabama. The Spartans will continue their road swing at Western Carolina next Wednesday.
