CLINTON, Miss. --- Following a 76-70 win over Belhaven University to open the 2015-16 season, the Mississippi College women's basketball team returns to the hardwood on Saturday, Nov. 21 as it hosts Spring Hill College. Tip is slated for 2 p.m. The game, the second of three at home to open the season, will be broadcasted on www.gochoctaws.com.
 
Saturday's outing marks just the second meeting in the series with the Badgers as MC claimed a 65-50 win in Clinton last season. The Navy and Gold seeks its 101st win versus non-conference opponents inside A.E. Wood Coliseum under head coach Paul Allen Duke.
 
"If you don't come ready to play, they'll beat you. They are dangerous and hustle. If you don't hustle, they'll beat you," said Duke. "Our effort will have to be very good. We think we'll see some better execution with time of possession and defensively than we did on Tuesday night."
 
The Lady Choctaws picked up solid debuts from transfers Chloe Roberts, Toni Woods and Carla Clemmons. Roberts, a transfer from Lane College, led all scorers with 21 points against the Blazers while Gadsden State Community College transfer, Clemmons, added 14 points – which was second on the team.
 
Woods, a transfer from Copiah Lincoln Community College, tallied a team-best 10 rebounds in Tuesday's victory along with two of the team's three blocks in the affair.

Shaniqua Love also had a career night against the Blazers with seven points and tied a career mark with three assists in an 18 minutes on the floor – also a career-high.
 
Spring Hill currently sits 0-1 on the season following a 66-64 loss at the University of West Alabama to open the season. The Purple and Gold host the Tigers on Friday evening before traveling to Clinton to face the Lady Choctaws.
 
Camry Johnson led the Badgers in the opening meeting with UWA with 12 points while the trio of Leah Washington, Armanee Broussard and Brittney Davis each totaled eight points in the loss. Washington paced SHC with 14 rebounds.
