"We are looking forward to being back home against Philander Smith," said UAPB head coach Chelsey Lucas. "Tomorrow game is about executing, starting strong and playing at a high level. In the match against Southern U. last weekend, it was a team effort, we had players from the bench and on the court that played a role in helping the team."

The matchup will be the Lady Panther's first match of the season led by first-year head coach Jazmine Washington. UAPB won the last meeting in 2013, 3-0 (25-10, 25-12, 26-24).
