"This will be the first time that we've played Western Kentucky under my administration," said Head Coach Freda Freeman-Jackson.  "This is a tough team and they run their game like Troy and Georgia Tech, schools that we have played before.  This should be an interesting competition for us.  We have been off for a while. Western Kentucky has played six games since the last time we have played. We have lost the last few games so we are hungry right now looking for a win.  That's why it's so important that we get off to a good start tomorrow, so that we can knock some of that momentum off in the beginning of the game and get the win."
