HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – Alabama A&M (10-13, 7-5 SWAC) women's basketball will make their first trip to the State of Florida to play Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) games as they take on the league's two newest members, beginning with Bethune-Cookman (5-17, 4-9 SWAC) on Saturday, February 19. Game time is set for 1 p.m. (CST).
A&M comes in having won their last two, defeating Mississippi Valley State (2/12) by a 53-47 score and Arkansas-Pine Bluff (2/14) 56-50 while B-CU has won two of their last three.
