GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Furman women's basketball tips off Southern Conference play on Saturday at Wofford in a 2:00 p.m. contest at Richardson Indoor Stadium.

The game will be live streamed via ESPN+, with a links to the broadcast and live stats available thru FurmanPaladins.com.

The Paladins (4-5, 0-0 SoCon), who have battled thru a number of game cancellations and additions over the season's first six weeks, notched a pair of victories over the past week, beating Queens (67-53) and Erskine (77-44).

Wofford (4-3) rolled past Erskine, 88-49, on Jan. 2 in its last outing.

Furman's top performer this season has been redshirt senior all-conference forward Tierra Hodges, who enters Saturday's contest averaging a team leading 15.8 points and SoCon best 10.6 rebounds per game.  Owner of six double-doubles (points/rebounds) this year, the 5-foot-9 Covington, Ga., product was named to the Becky Harmon Mid-Major Player of the Year Preseason Watch List.

A pair of freshmen, Sydney James (11.1 ppg) and Tate Walters (10.0 ppg) round out the Paladins' double figure scorers, but the duo has missed the last two games.  Walters garnered SoCon Player of the Week honors in early December after registering 25 points in the Paladins' 73-58 win over Georgia Southern.

Saturday's contest will be the 55th meeting in the Furman-Wofford series, which the Paladins lead 45-9.  Furman has captured the last two encounters, including a 68-54 win in SoCon Tournament play last year, but Wofford has won the last three clashes in Spartanburg.

Furman was a preseason No. 4 pick in poll of SoCon head coaches, and Wofford was sixth.
