The Lindenwood women's basketball team (7-19, 5-11 OVC) travels to Evansville, Ind. for a matchup with Southern Indiana (20-6, 15-1 OVC) on Thursday night. Tip-off is set for 5;00 P.M.
 
The Lions are coming off a 61-54 victory over Little Rock last Saturday. Lindenwood was led offensively by Justis Odom who posted a career-high 24 points, 16 of which came in the fourth quarter. The Indianapolis, Ind. native made some big free throws down the stretch and finished the contest going 14-of-16 from the charity stripe. She also added six rebounds to her stat line.
 
Those six rebounds were a team high as the Lions outrebounded the Trojans, 32-28. The Lions have outrebounded their opponents seven times so far this season and are 4-3 in those games. Odom currently leads the team with 4.2 boards per game.
 
Lindenwood kept Little Rock quiet from outside last Saturday as the Trojans finished the game 0-of-2 from deep. This is the third time this season in which the Lions have allowed no threes in a game. Overall, the black and gold held Little Rock to just 54 points, the third lowest output by an opposing team this season.
 
Mykayla Cunningham and Ellie Brueggemann were the other Lindenwood players in double figures with 13 and 10 respectively. Cunningham made an impact on the defensive end with a team-high three steals. Brueggemann has now scored in double figures in 22 games this season, tops on the team.
 
Lindenwood will be looking to even the season series with Southern Indiana after the Screaming Eagles topped the Lions 71-68 in the conference opener on December 31. In that game, Mya Skoff paced the squad with a season-high 16 points.
 
The Lions are sitting on the edge of OVC Tournament contention with a 5-11 record. Lindenwood will close out the regular season with a road matchup at Morehead State on Saturday. Tip-off is set for 12:00 p.m. CT.
