Nicholls Women's Basketball to Host LSUA at 11 A.M. Tuesday

THIBODAUX, La. - The Nicholls State University women's basketball team returns to Stopher Gymnasium on Tuesday, Nov. 10, welcoming LSU-Alexandria for an 11 a.m. contest for Elementary School Day.

Nicholls (1-2) looks to get back in the win column following a two-game road swing against a pair of Power 4 opponents, Iowa State (Big 12) and Georgia (SEC). The Colonels opened the season with a 83-54 victory over Dillard on Nov. 2 before heading on the road for the next two.

On the court, Britiya Curtis has fueled the offense for the Colonels through the opening three games, leading the team with 21.7 points per contest. The junior guard has totaled 65 points while connecting on 10 3-pointers, including a season-high 26-point performance in the home victory over Dillard. Curtis has played every minute so far and is second on team with 6.7 rebounds.

Senior Jasmine Matthews is also averaging double figures in scoring at 12.0 points per game and a team-high 7.0 rebounds per contest. In the lone home game, Matthews recorded a double-double with 20 points and 13 rebounds against the Bleu Devils.

LSU-Alexandria (1-3) enters Tuesday's contest following a 75-70 victory over Central Baptist on Saturday. The Generals have also faced William Carey, Faulkner and Mobile during the early portion of their schedule. LSUA competes at the NAIA level and is a member of the Red River Athletic Conference.
