EVANSVILLE, Ind.—University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball begins the final week of the regular-season in search of a regular-season title and No. 1 seed in next week’s Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament.
 
The Screaming Eagles (20-4, 14-2 GLVC) visit No. 25 and GLVC front-runner University of Missouri-St. Louis Thursday at 5:30 p.m. before concluding the regular-season Saturday at 1 p.m. when they host Lindenwood University for Senior Day.
 
USI, which is currently No. 2 in the GLVC Point Ratings System Standings, can win the GLVC regular-season title and earn a first-round bye in the GLVC Tournament with a pair of wins this week.
 
Following Saturday’s game, the Eagles will honor fifth-year senior guards Emma DeHart (Indianapolis, Indiana) and Ashley Hunter (Flossmoor, Illinois) in addition to senior manager Amanda Lewandowski. The Eagles also will be honoring their lone graduating senior on the cheer team in addition to their men’s basketball seniors following the women’s game Saturday.
 
Both games this week will be aired on 95.7 The Spin as well as the GLVC Sports Network, while live stats, audio and video can be accessed at GoUSIEagles.com. Next week’s GLVC Tournament games also will be aired on the GLVC Sports Network but will only be available via pay-per-view.
 
If USI hosts a first-round GLVC Tournament game Monday, ticket information will be distributed Saturday night.
