On March 1, 2025, women's college basketball will see some intense matchups as several teams look to establish momentum as the regular season approaches its conclusion.
The Wagner Seahawks (8-18) will try to break their four-game road losing streak when they face the Central Connecticut State Blue Devils (9-18) at 1:00 PM ET at the William H. Detrick Gymnasium. Central Connecticut is searching for redemption after losing their last game to Le Moyne 75-64, where Belle Lanpher led scoring with 24 points and snagged six rebounds.
Wagner, on the other hand, aims to build on its victory over LIU (66-58), powered by Taleah Washington's impressive 18-point performance. Despite struggling throughout the season, Wagner will seek to exploit Central Connecticut’s weaknesses as they have allowed 67.0 points per game this season.
Later, the UT Arlington Mavericks (14-11) will attempt to halt their three-game road losing streak against the Abilene Christian Wildcats (18-10) at 2:00 PM ET at Moody Coliseum. After defeating Tarleton State 59-56, Abilene Christian hopes to continue their winning ways, driven by Meredith Mayes, who led the team with 14 points last game.
UT Arlington, having dropped their last game to Grand Canyon 72-59, will rely on their average of 72.2 points per game, which places them 76th nationally. With both teams competitive on offense, this clash promises an exciting encounter.
At 2:00 PM ET, the UNC Asheville Bulldogs (3-25) will host the Winthrop Eagles (14-14) at Kimmel Arena. After securing a narrow win against Presbyterian (67-60), the Bulldogs look to capitalize on home-court advantage. Dakota McCaughan, who scored 17 points last game, will be instrumental if UNC Asheville hopes to break their seven-home game losing streak.
On the contrary, Winthrop, having lost to Longwood 59-55, will rally behind Amourie Porter, who netted 20 points last game. With both teams struggling to find consistent scoring, this matchup reveals which squad can overcome their offensive hurdles.
The Vermont Catamounts (17-12), currently riding high on a seven-game home winning streak, are set to face the UMBC Retrievers (14-13) at 2:00 PM ET at Roy L. Patrick Gymnasium.

Meanwhile, UMBC has faced challenges, recently losing to Albany 68-60, with Jaden Walker being their top scorer with 17 points.
Also scheduled, the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers (20-7) will host New Mexico State (15-13) at 3:00 PM ET, as Western Kentucky looks to extend their six-game home winning streak after defeating UTEP decisively, 81-58. Josie Gilvin’s standout performance, showcasing 21 points, highlights the Hilltoppers’ offensive prowess.
After suffering defeat against Middle Tennessee by 63-41, New Mexico State will try to regain footing with Fanta Gassama leading their scoring efforts at 10 points per game. This clash of styles—Western Kentucky's high-powered offense and New Mexico State's rigid defense—promises to be thrilling.
Simultaneously, the Jacksonville State Gamecocks (10-17) will take on Florida International Panthers (10-16) at 3:30 PM ET at Pete Mathews Coliseum. The Gamecocks’ last outing left them with disappointing results after losing to Liberty 71-55, marked by Maria Sanchez Ponce's contribution of 14 points.
Florida International, also seeking to break their own three-game losing streak after falling to Kennesaw State, will rally around Isnelle Natabou's scoring capabilities, having secured 15 points last match. This matchup will pit two struggling teams against each other, heightening the stakes for both sides.
Lastly, the Pepperdine Waves (8-20) will host Oregon State Beavers (15-15) at 4:00 PM ET at Firestone Fieldhouse. The Waves are eager to break their nine-game losing streak as they faced defeat against Washington State, with Maggie Vick being their leading point scorer at nine points.
Oregon State will also be coming off disappointment, losing to Saint Mary’s by 69-66. Kelsey Rees emerged as their high scorer with 18 points, propelling the Beavers to look for improvement. The matchup will certainly amplify the competitive spirit on the court as both struggle to find winning ways.
