The Phoenix did pick up their first conference win of the season after defeating new member Life University on Monday night, 88-58.

Tonight's Mid-South Conference opener will be the fifth game Campbellsville has played against a ranked foe and the fourth for Cumberland.

Both teams have made appearances in the NAIA Fab Four, as Cumberland did so in 2013 and Campbellsville in 2015. The Phoenix, who entered the MSC in that 2012-13 season, won three straight games over the Lady Tigers during that Fab Four run, with all three wins coming in that season.
