"It's been a long time since we've been on the road and beat a MEAC school," head coach Freda Freeman-Jackson commented.  "So that tells me a lot about this team.  We have the talent that we didn't have last year and we play collectively as a team so if we played like we did yesterday we should do well."
 
The series between the two teams is 5-5 and these games have all been under the helm of coach Freeman-Jackson. Last season at the Dome ASU defeated the Lady Tigers 57-52.
 
Alabama State will look to continue their pace as sophomore Britney Wright has been the leading scorer for ASU averaging 14.0 ppg and averaging 9.0 rebounds per contest.  Junior Jasmine Peeples is in the two spot on the team averaging 9.5 points per game and 9.0 rpg.
 
Savannah State is led in scoring by Kenyata Hendrix which is averaging 19.5 ppg. and teammate Etienne Kalu which is averaging 17.5 ppg.
 
"We know that we have our work cut out for us tomorrow and we must work together as a team," Freeman-Jackson said.  "We are a young team and I've said this before, we will just have to come out and play defense because Savannah State is a caliber team that will be very competitive."
