Coach Molly Miller's nationally 21st-ranked Lady Panthers will play host to Great Lakes Valley Conference West Division rival Quincy in a 1 p.m. tipoff on "Great Southern Throwback Day" Saturday at the O'Reilly Family Event Center.

It's a battle of the top two teams in the West with the Lady Panthers sitting at 15-3 overall and 9-1 in the league, while Quincy comes in at 12-6 and 7-3.

Tori Kuhn, a 6-0 junior transfer from Lindenwood, averages 7.7 points and a team-high 6.2 rebounds.
