This week will be somewhat of a break for GLVC women's basketball teams, as only 13 games are on the slate and all against non-conference opponents. Finals are coming up for many schools and these games precede the last week of action before the 10-day winter holiday hiatus. It will be McKendree in action first on Monday, hosting Kentucky State before Indianapolis welcomes Indiana Wesleyan Thursday night and Maryville is at home Friday against Missouri Valley. All three of those games can be seen on GLVCSN. Saturday is the busiest of the week with eight games on tap, including home contests for Bellarmine, William Jewell, Rockhurst, Southern Indiana and Quincy all streaming on GLVCSN. Also playing Saturday is Missouri-St. Louis as well as Drury and Lewis, which will be in Hawaii and Florida, respectively. The latter two teams will remain in their tropical locales for two more games on Sunday to close out this week's action.
