Brevard will be looking for its first win of the 2020 calendar year after securing three victories during the early portion of the 2019-20 schedule. Prior to the new year, BC secured a 78-58 victory over Wesleyan College back on December 7, 2019, preceding back-to-back road defeats in USA South play to Berea College and Huntingdon College.
Agnes Scott will be in search of its first overall win of the 2019-20 season following an 0-12 start.
Brevard has been led offensively by junior forward Deja Riddick, who has averaged 11.6 ppg through her team's first 11 games. Riddick has eclipsed double-figure scoring totals six times this season and has impressively reached the 20-point plateau on three occasions. In Brevard's last outing versus Huntingdon, Riddick posted a new career-high with 23 points – eclipsing her previous career-mark set in the season opener against Toccoa Falls College on November 12, 2019 (22 points) – by making six field goals and a career-best 11 free throws made.
The Scotties have been led by Garis Grant and Emma Olsen, who have scored 9.8 ppg and 9.5 ppg respectively for the Agnes Scott offense.
