WKU Women’s Basketball will travel to Macon, Georgia Tuesday to take on the 1-1 Mercer Bears. 

The Lady Toppers come into the matchup off a dominant 104-49 win against Kentucky State last weekend. In the Lady Toppers season opener, they defeated the Indiana State Sycamores.

WKU is led by four players averaging double figures in the early season spearheaded by Kansas transfer forward Zsofia Telegdy who is averaging 13.5 points. The Lady Toppers have had active hands disrupting the passing lane as they have racked up 39 steals and 62 turnovers in the early season.

Mercer is coming off a 58-48 loss to the Florida Atlantic Owls this weekend. The Bears are led by senior forward Ashlee Locke who averages a double-double with 18.5 points and 13 rebounds per game. 

Mercer is led by former WKU head coach Michelle Clark-Heard, who coached the Lady Toppers from 2012-2018. 

This will be WKU and Mercer’s fifth time facing off against one another as the Lady Toppers have won three of the four times they have faced off. These two teams faced off most recently last season where WKU came out with the win 70-64.

Tip-off is set for tomorrow at 6 p.m. on ESPN+.
