Vanderbilt has opened the season at 9-1 for the fourth time in six years. The Commodores recently knocked off BIG EAST rival South Florida on the road as junior Liz Sherwood and sophomore Christina Wirth each posted double-doubles.

At 3-6, Lipscomb has not played since a Dec. 4 loss at the hands of Murray State. The Bisons have notched wins against Fisk, Austin Peay and Jacksonville this season.
