Albany, GA – The Albany State Lady Golden Rams (6-7, 4-4 SIAC) are riding a wave of momentum as they prepare to host the Tuskegee Lady Golden Tigers (12-4, 8-1 SIAC) in a special midweek matchup on MLK Day, honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Fans are encouraged to pack the HPER Complex in gold and bring their energy as the Lady Golden Rams look to extend their win streak to three.

Albany State is coming off back-to-back wins, defeating Savannah State 61-43 on January 11 and Edward Waters 57-50 on January 13.

The Lady Golden Rams will look to build on their improved defensive intensity and rebounding dominance, which have been key factors during their win streak.

Tuskegee rebounded from a 63-58 loss to Edward Waters on January 6 with an emphatic 73-47 win over LeMoyne-Owen on January 11. Known for their aggressive play and offensive versatility, the Lady Golden Tigers will be a formidable opponent for Albany State.
