FURMAN TO HOST APPALACHIAN STATE THURSDAY NIGHT IN MAKEUP GAME

GREENVILLE, South Carolina -- The Furman women's basketball team will host the Mountaineers of Appalachian State Thursday night, Jan. 17, at 7 p.m. in the first of three consecutive contests to be played in Timmons Arena.

The game between Furman and ASU was moved to Thursday after inclement weather forced a postponement on Jan. 2. Following Thursday night's game, the Lady Paladins will play host to the Bucs of Eas Tennesse State Saturday at 3 p.m., and will play College of Charleston Tuesday, Jan. 22, in a 7 p.m. contest.

Furman is 8-7 overall and 3-3 in the Southern Conference, after picking up an 85-83 overtime road win Monday night at Georgia Southern.
