CONWAY, Ark. – The Central Arkansas women's basketball team returns to the friendly confines of the Farris Center for a Southland Conference game against Abilene Christian on Saturday. The Bears and Wildcats will be on ESPN3 with a 2 p.m. tip. It will also be Senior Day and a Pink Out.

Carley Hudspeth led the Sugar Bears with 14 points and added one rebound. Lucy Ibeh finished with her fourth double-double with 13 points and a team-high 10 rebounds. Ibeh added a team-high four assists and two steals. Savanna Walker chipped in with eight points and added three assists.
 
Ibeh leads the team with 13.3 points per game, has a team-high 7.2 rebounds per game, and has a team-high 43 steals. She's posted two games with 31 points.

ACU has won the last six meetings and have an 8-6 series lead against UCA. Earlier this season in Abilene, the Wildcats defeated the Sugar Bears 60-58 on a last-second shot. Abilene Christian holds a slim 3-2 series lead in Conway. This meeting could turn out to be one of the biggest meetings in the brief history as the winner would have an extremely high possibility of making the conference tournament.
