More GLVC women's basketball divisional games are on the docket Thursday and Saturday. Indianapolis (13-6, 7-2) has a tough road ahead this week, welcoming the East Division's co-leaders in No. 4 Bellarmine (16-1, 8-1 GLVC) on Thursday followed by Southern Indiana (16-3, 8-1 GLVC) Saturday. UIndy is currently third in the division and can move into at least a tie for first if it wins both. The West Division's second- and third-place teams will face off Thursday as Missouri-St. Louis (9-8, 4-5 GLVC) travels to Rockhurst (11-5, 6-3 GLVC). The Hawks may also have its hands full on Saturday, hosting Maryville (7-9, 3-6 GLVC) that upset then-No. 19 Lewis on Jan. 14 and also came out on top against UMSL two days later.
