The VSU women's basketball team will host the Knights of Southern Virginia University in a midweek match up Wednesday night at 5:30 p.m. The Trojans enter play 0-2 after dropping the first two games of the season in the IUP Conference Challenge on the campus of Indiana University of Pennsylvania. 

Last Time Out

•  Valerie Samuel recorded her first career double-double as she led her squad with 12 points with a game-high 11 rebounds
•  Sommer Blakemore recorded her first double-digit game as a Trojan with 11 points on 4-of-9 shooting.
• The Trojans shot 70% from the free throw line in the contest.
• VSU capitalized on all 11 of the Griffins turnovers. 

 
Scouting the Knights
Southern Virginia University joined the USA South in 2019. While the Knights have added to their win column, the squad has fallen to Christopher Newport and Rochester (N.Y.) by more than 17 points in each contest. SVU will look to be more efficient as they shoot just 35% from the field and 20% from beyond the arc. The Knights also struggle from the charity strip knocking down just 55% of their free thrown's. Southern Virginia have a star in Savanna Christensen as she leads her team in points (18.5), rebounds (9) and field goal percentage (53.6).
