HILLSBORO, Kan. –  Following a nine-point loss to Friends on Wednesday, the Lady Bluejays will return to their very own home court this weekend to face the Lady Coyotes of Kansas Wesleyan University.
 
This will mark the Bluejays' second encounter with Kansas Wesleyan this season, as they look to add another win to their record Saturday night. This year's first matchup between the two teams occurred on Jan. 3, with the Coyotes claiming a 62-47 victory over the Bluejays. Throughout history, Tabor has a combined 37-22 record against the Coyotes. They hold a 15-7 record on their home court and a 10-10 record when playing at KWU.

Owens put up 15 points and also acquired five rebounds and one assist. Preusser had an amazing fourth quarter, scoring eight of her total thirteen points in the last 10 minutes. 

Kansas Wesleyan is coming off an exciting 84-80 victory this past Wednesday, defeating York University. Six Coyotes scored in double figures during that contest. Looking to improve their offensive performance this week, the Lady Bluejays will have to get creative against a competitive KWU defense.
