SHREVEPORT, La. - After suffering through the worst loss in IUPUI women's basketball history on Saturday, the Jaguars hope that the Port City remains a home away from home when they meet Centenary on Monday evening. Tip-off from the Gold Dome is slated for 8:00 p.m. EST, with Scott Taylor on the call on IUPUIJags.com.

IUPUI (2-22, 1-12) has never dropped a meeting with Centenary (1-24, 0-14) and is 6-0 at the Gold Dome; last year, the Jaguars overcame a poor shooting performance to scrape out a 57-55 victory on Feb. 16, 2009.

The teams met earlier in the year, with the Jaguars claiming a 61-35 victory on Jan. 16; Kerah Nelson and Janna Eichelberger each posted double-doubles in the win. IUPUI clamped down defensively as well, holding the Ladies without a two-point field goal for the first 21:51 of that contest.

Centenary shot just 21.7 percent for the game, the lowest field-goal percentage IUPUI has held an opponent to in the Division I era.

The Jaguars currently trail Southern Utah by three games for the final spot in The Summit League Tournament; IUPUI has an elimination number of three as well - any combination of Southern Utah victories and Jaguar losses totaling three will prevent the Jags from competing in the conference tournament.

Taylor's call of the game will begin at approximately 7:50 EST, and fans can follow the game by clicking on any of the above links.
