CEDAR CITY, Utah\u00a0\u2014 UT Arlington women’s basketball (10-14, 4-8 WAC) hits the road for a quick turnaround on Saturday, Feb. 14, traveling to Cedar City for a rematch with Southern Utah (16-8, 8-4 WAC) at the America First Events Center.\u00a0Tipoff\u00a0is set for 3 p.m. CT\u00a0(ESPN+).\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n UTA dropped a 72-63\u00a0decision to Abilene Christian on Thursday at College Park Center, despite shooting 48% (21-of-44)\u00a0from the floor, and the difference came down to possessions. UTA committed 28 turnovers, which helped ACU stay in control for most of the night (ACU led for 89%\u00a0of the game and pushed the lead as high as 12). Kendal Robinson<\/a>\u00a0led the Lady\u00a0Mavs\u00a0with 15 points\u00a0on 6-of-9\u00a0shooting, while Kira Reynolds<\/a>\u00a0pulled down a team-high six rebounds.\u00a0<\/p>\n UTA and SUU have already seen plenty of each other this season, with the\u00a0Thunderbirds\u00a0taking the first two meetings\u201458-55 at College Park Center (Jan. 3)\u00a0and 77-68 in Cedar City (Jan. 29).\u00a0<\/p>\n Historically, the series has leaned UTA’s way. The Lady Mavs hold a 7-2\u00a0advantage all-time, but Southern Utah has won the last two to flip the momentum entering Saturday’s rubber match.\u00a0<\/p>\n UTA continues to be paced by freshman standout\u00a0Kira Reynolds<\/a>, team leader in scoring, rebounding, and blocks, with\u00a0Nya Threatt<\/a>\u00a0providing steady production and\u00a0Kali Haizlip<\/a>\u00a0serving as a perimeter weapon. Defensively, UTA’s identity remains anchored on running teams off the three-point line.\u00a0<\/p>\n Southern Utah brings a balanced, physical profile that starts with scoring\u00a0efficiency and\u00a0control of the glass. The\u00a0Thunderbirds\u00a0are averaging 73.2 points per game\u00a0while holding opponents to 66.1, and they shoot 42.1%\u00a0from the floor as a team.<\/p>\n NOTEWORTHY<\/p>\n
Quick turnaround:\u00a0UTA is right back on a plane after Thursday night, looking to respond on the road.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rubber match:\u00a0Saturday is meeting No. 3 between the teams this season after SUU edged UTA in the first two.\u00a0<\/p>\n
History vs. urgency:\u00a0UTA leads the all-time series\u00a07-2, but enters trying to snap a\u00a0two-game skid\u00a0in the\u00a0matchup.\u00a0<\/p>\n
