BELTON, Texas – McMurry University's women's basketball team, already locked in to no worse than the No. 3 seed in the American Southwest Conference West Division, will be looking to regain some momentum when it faces the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor on Saturday afternoon (1 p.m.).
The War Hawks (15-7, 13-5 ASC) trail the ASC West co-leaders (Howard Payne and Concordia-Texas) by two games with three remaining.
Thursday's loss at Concordia (59-50) dealt a blow to the War Hawks' hopes to take the ASC title, but with a bout versus Howard Payne next weekend in Abilene, the team still has the chance for the top spot with some help. It was McMurry's second loss in a row.
