MACON, Ga. (Interstat) — The Mercer Bears will look to get back to .500 on Tuesday when they host the winless Florida A&M Lady Rattlers in a nonconference women’s basketball matchup at Hawkins Arena.

Mercer (3-3) is coming off a 93-72 road loss to Georgia Southern on Saturday. Ariana Bennett led the Bears in that contest, scoring 20 points. The team has shown resilience at home this season, posting a 2-1 record in Macon, including a win over Gardner-Webb.

Florida A&M (0-5) continues to search for its first victory under first-year head coach Tia Jackson. The Lady Rattlers are coming off a 76-59 defeat at UCF on Friday, where Shaniyah McCarthy scored a team-high 19 points. The team has struggled offensively, failing to score more than 59 points in any game this season and losing by an average margin of 33.2 points.

The game presents a clear opportunity for Mercer to build momentum before a road trip to Charleston Southern. For Florida A&M, it’s another tough test in a challenging early-season schedule as they aim to break into the win column.

Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. EST on Tuesday, Nov. 25.
