All but one day this week is filled with GLVC women's basketball action. But, as it doesn't play a league opponent until Saturday, Drury will open the week on Wednesday morning against non-conference foe Lane for the Hiland Dairy Kids Day. Thursday and Saturday brings back Conference action with all 12 games streaming live and free on every GLVCSN platforms. On Thursday, Rockhurst and William Jewell will meet again just a week after Jewell picked up a 64-61 road win at Rockhurst. Southern Indiana will look to use its game against Indianapolis on Thursday to bounce back after a loss to then-No. 8 Drury that was a match-up between the only two league teams ranked in the top-25 poll. The only two teams on the road both days will be Bellarmine and Truman State. Looking to recover from its 63-60 loss at Jewell, Bellarmine will visit the top East Division team in Lewis on Thursday before facing another divisional foe in UW-Parkside Saturday. Truman travels to Missouri S&T first and looks to repeat its 77-50 win from a week ago in Kirksville, but it will follow that contest by swinging over to Drury in what is likely to be its toughest challenge this season. Illinois Springfield and McKendree also play two games this week but will split them home and away, with both playing Missouri-St. Louis.
