THE GAME
Fresh off a blowout win against Angelo State, Tarleton will look to keep its momentum rolling forward Saturday night in a 6 p.m. visit to the Steinke Center for a match-up with Texas A&M-Kingsville.
 
THE BROADCAST
The game will have a live radio broadcast presented by the Tarleton Sports Network presented by North Texas Ford Dealers. The Voice of the TexAnns, Keltin Wiens, will serve as the play-by-play this season. The radio broadcast can be heard on KTRL 90.5 FM in Stephenville and surrounding areas or online at TarletonSports.com/ListenLive. The pregame show will begin 15 minutes prior to tip-off.
 
LAST TIME OUT
Career-high scoring efforts from Bailey Wipff and Meagan O'Dell powered Tarleton to its first Lone Star Conference victory of the season Wednesday night in a 94-65 win over Angelo State in Wisdom Gym. Wipff scored 22 points while O'Dell added 21, which was her first career 20-point performance.
 
THE OPPONENT
Texas A&M-Kingsville has played its fair share of low-scoring affairs this season as the Javelinas boast the fourth-best scoring defense in the Lone Star Conference, but also the second-lowest offense in the league. Kingsville is vastly improved from a year ago with five wins compared to the 0-26 record last season and are led by Kaylin Roher's 11.7 points per game.
 
THE SERIES
Saturday marks the 42nd meeting in the history of this rivalry, dating back to the inaugural meeting in 1986. Tarleton holds a 23-18 lead in the series and has won 11 consecutive games, dating back to Feb. 20, 2010.
 
FREE ADMISSION
Texas A&M-Kingsville is hosting a community appreciation night and admission to the game is free.
 
WIPFF'S START TO LSC PLAY
In her first three Lone Star Conference games this season, Bailey Wipff is off to one of the best conference starts in the league. The junior guard is averaging 20.0 points per game and has two of her three career 20-point games since LSC play began. In her career, she has 214 points in 19 career LSC games for a career LSC average of 11.2 points to per game.
 
TARLETON HEADS SOUTH
In the midst of Tarleton's current 11-game winning streak against the Javelinas, the TexAnns have won five straight games in the Steinke Center.
 
WILSON IN JANUARY
Since 2011, Misty Wilson and the Tarleton TexAnns boast a record of 34-9 in the month of January, for a winning percentage of .791.
 
BIG-TIME WIN
Tarleton's 29-point win Saturday night is second largest win for the TexAnns in the Misty Wilson era. Wilson's biggest win came in last year's regular season finale against Texas A&M-Commerce - a 44-point rout of the Lions in Wisdom Gym. It was the largest win by Tarleton in the series history and the most points scored against Angelo since the series began in 1976. It was also the ninth 20-point win for Tarleton under Wilson.
 
UP NEXT FOR TARLETON
Tarleton will remain on the road for a Wednesday-night visit to Wichita Falls for a 5:30 p.m. showdown with Midwestern State.
