WOMEN'S BASKETBALL: Ferris Playing In Maryland With Victories In Mind

Ferris State University's Kylie Muntz goes to the floor for a loose ball during a game earlier this season in Big Rapids.

Ferris State is on the road for a couple of women's basketball games against struggling opponents.

On the other hand, especially on the road, nothing can be taken for granted as head coach Tracey Dorow's Bulldogs seek to lift their record above the .500 mark.

Ferris is 5-5 overall this season and 2-4 in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference standings.

Last time out, the Bulldogs suffered a pair of losses in the Upper Peninsula as they dropped a 64-43 decision to No. 12 Michigan Tech (Dec. 18) and then a 75-56 decision to Northern Michigan (Dec. 19) before they returned to Big Rapids.

Tiara Adams, a senior forward, and Tricia Principe, a junior guard, continue to lead the Bulldogs on the court this season - as expected. Adams is the leading scorer on the season with a 12.8 scoring average where Principe is not too far off that pace at 12.6 per contest. Adams is tops on the boards averaging 8.2 per contest while Principe is averaging 4.7.

Up next, Ferris will compete in the Lady Bulldogs Holiday Classic hosted by Bowie State in Bowie, Md. (Dec. 29-30). Ferris takes on Virginia Union on Dec. 29, at 4 p.m., and then challenges host Bowie State on Dec. 30, at 6 p.m.

Here is some info on Ferris' upcoming opponents as the Bulldogs seek to take care of business in non-conference action:

Virginia Union (0-5, 0-0 CIAA) is still searching for its first win after its most recent game versus Caldwell (N.J.) was postponed until a later date on Dec. 17.

Bowie State (2-3, 0-0 CIAA) has lost three-straight heading into its first day matchup with Gannon in the holiday classic after winning its first two games of the year.
