Kingsville - The Texas A&M - Kingsville women's basketball team will look to stay perfect in 2025 when it hosts the Oklahoma Christian Eagles on Saturday at 1 p.m..

The Lone Star Conference matchup will be the second of four straight home games for Kingsville, who has won three straight games and four of its last five. The Javelinas find themselves on the same streak against the Eagles in their head-to-head matchups, winners of three in a row and four of five. They will certainly hope for a repeat of last year's matchup when they beat the visitors from Oklahoma 73-43.

TAMUK enters Saturday's game after a nail-biting win over Cameron Thursday night, when the team turned over their opponents on their final three possessions of the game to hold on and secure a two-point win. The game's hero, freshman guard Addisyn Parker, played a career-high 19 minutes, as many as her previous three games combined, and poured in a career-high 10 points - all of which came in the second half - on 4-of-5 shooting. Parker accounted for nearly a third of the team's 32 second-half points and stole the ball away from the Aggies on the final play of the game to nab the win.

Though the turnover bug has bit the Javelinas in their last few games, they still rank third in the conference (t-36th in the nation) in fewest turnovers committed per game, and hold the third-best assist-to-turnover ratio. They're led in that department by the backcourt duo of junior Aina Maynou and senior Abby Bala. Both have been stellar sharing the basketball, with Bala averaging the fifth-most assists in the conference while holding the second-best a/to ratio (t-39th in the nation), while Maynou dishes out the sixth-most assists and has the sixth-best a/to in the LSC.

The visitors for Saturday's matchup will ride high into the game after a double-digit win over TAMIU in Laredo on Thursday. The Eagles now sit at an even 6-6 overall and are 3-5 in conference play.

Much like their fellow Oklahoma natives - the Aggies from Cameron - OC's squad is powered by an inside-out duo who both stuff the stat sheet. In fact, Junior forward Taylor Jackson and senior guard Kate Bradley provide one of the best one-two scoring punches in the conference, averaging the sixth- and tenth-most points in the conference respectively - they're the only Lone Star teammate duo to each rank in the top 10.

Jackson also adds 8.3 rebounds per game, the sixth-most in the LSC, while shooting the seventh-best percentage from the field. While she takes care of the inside scoring, Bradley gets it done on the outside, shooting the third-best percentage from distance while making 3.0 threes per game, the most in the LSC. Both of them (as well as two other Eagles) average more than a steal per game.

The matchup will tip off at 1 p.m. and the Javelinas will look to win four straight conference games for the first time since February of 2023.
