SHREVEPORT, La. -- Coming off one of their most exciting wins of the season, the IUPUI women's basketball team will look to keep rolling when they take on the Centenary Ladies on Monday evening.  Tip-off from the Gold Dome is scheduled for 7 p.m. CT, and fans can catch the game on IUPUI Live!

IUPUI (13-12, 8-6 Summit) has won all 11 previous meeting with Centenary (4-20, 2-11 Summit), pulling away in the second half for a 65-53 win over the Ladies at The Jungle on Jan. 17, 2009.  Julia Whitted led the Jaguars with 18 points and 10 rebounds in the contest.

On Saturday, the Jags scored 11 points in a 55-second span to turn a 55-46 deficit into a 57-55 lead on their way to a 62-57 victory over Oral Roberts.  Whitted had 16 points and 12 boards in the win, her ninth double-double of the season, while Nicole James had 15 points and a career-high 9 rebounds.

Kiara Butler came off the bench to score 12 points, including the game's go-ahead basket and game-clinching free throws.  Butler had 10 points in the the Jags' meeting with Centenary earlier this year.

The Jaguars will be looking to get Jernisha Cann back on track on Monday.  Since returning from injury, Cann is averaging just 8.3 points and 9.3 rebounds in nine games.  In Cann's defense, she spent the morning shoot around on Saturday laid up with a stomach virus, and despite a 1-for-12 shooting effort, filled the box score with 7 assists, 4 blocks and 5 steals.
