NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The 14th-ranked Vanderbilt women’s basketball team will play host to a pair of non-conference games this weekend when Bowling Green and Western Kentucky visit Memorial Gymnasium.
The Commodores will play Mid-American Conference power Bowling Green on Friday at 7 p.m. CT, with nearby Sun Belt foe Western Kentucky coming to Nashville for a 2 p.m. Sunday tip.
Vanderbilt is 7-0 for the sixth time in school history after winning at Wright State, 63-46, on Wednesday. Senior guard Merideth Marsh, the reigning Southeastern Conference Player of the Week, led the Commodores with 21 points against the Raiders.
Bowling Green (4-2) comes into Friday’s matchup on a three-game winning streak. The Falcons are paced by Lauren Prochaska’s 15.8 points and 7.0 rebounds per game.
Vanderbilt is 2-1 all-time against Bowling Green, with the lone loss coming in the 2007 NCAA Tournament. The Commodores were a No. 2 seed that year, knocked off in the second round by the seventh-seeded Falcons.
Sunday’s game against Western Kentucky is the 31st matchup between two schools separated by about 60 miles. Vanderbilt holds an 18-12 advantage in the series, and has won the last four meetings.
The Lady Toppers (4-2) rebounded from a pair of losses in Cancun to defeat North Dakota on Wednesday. WKU is led by Amy McNear’s 10.5 points per game.
Vanderbilt student-athletes will host a post-game clinic on the main floor at Memorial Gym, which is free for any children in attendance at Sunday’s game.
