The night marks senior night and Connection Day.  Alabama State will honor five seniors, fifth year senior Jamesha Blake, Nakiya Smith, Amaria Brown, Taila Arrington and Quentori Alford.  Connection Day is slated for junior high and high school students who will find out about the programs that are offered at ASU.

"Nakiya has been playing very well for us," said Freeman-Jackson.  "I am proud of the team as a whole, we have had momentum and I hope that we can finish our regular season in this final game with the same momentum that we have had in the last seven games."
