NICEVILLE, Fla.  – Two unbeaten teams are set to face off on Tuesday afternoon in Summit, Miss., as No. 2 Northwest Florida State takes on (RV) Southwest Mississippi in a midweek showdown before both squads head into the holiday break.

The Raiders are coming off a dominant road win in Georgia this past weekend, defeating Central Georgia Tech 64-33. Nevaeh Scott and Deborah Davenport led the way with 13 points each, while Kyla McBride controlled the boards with eight rebounds.

The Bears enter the matchup with a perfect 10-0 record, most recently defeating Delgado 69-44. They are an impressive 7-0 at home this season and will aim for a statement victory against a tough Northwest Florida team.

A win for the Raiders would extend their record to 14-0, providing a strong boost of momentum heading into the break. Northwest Florida will return to action on December 30 for a home game before heading into 2025. The team is set for two more non-conference road games before beginning Panhandle Conference play at home on January 11 against Tallahassee.
