FORT MYERS, Fla. (Interstat) — A clash of unbeaten Wildcats will highlight Friday’s women’s college basketball action at the Florida SouthWestern State Classic when Northwestern takes on Abilene Christian.

Northwestern (5-0) enters the contest looking to protect its perfect record, while Abilene Christian (4-1) aims to build on a three-game winning streak. The game is a neutral-site contest despite Northwestern being designated the home team.

Northwestern is coming off a 75-68 victory over Cleveland State last Friday. Grace Sullivan led the way with 20 points, while Claire Keswick added 18 points. Their undefeated start includes a tough 79-72 road win at DePaul.

Abilene Christian arrives with momentum after a 60-51 road win at North Texas on Nov. 19. In that game, Payton Hull scored 16 points, Erin Woodson added 14 and Meredith Mayes nearly recorded a double-double with 13 points and nine rebounds. The team’s only loss was a narrow 77-76 defeat at Stephen F. Austin.

The matchup pits Northwestern’s sustained success against a surging Abilene Christian squad in a unique battle of teams sharing the same Wildcats nickname.

Both teams face quick turnarounds, as Northwestern is scheduled to play Missouri at the same venue on Saturday, while Abilene Christian will face Bradley.
