Lady Tigers need one win to clinch MSC but are hungry for more to end regular season

CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. — Looking for regular season championship No. 20 (KIAC & MSC), Lady Tiger Basketball needs only one win in the final three games of the regular season to clinch the title. But that isn't the end goal for Campbellsville. 
 
The Lady Tigers are seeking to go perfect inside conference play for the first time since 2010 and third time since 1997. Campbellsville has its toughest test coming up the next three games as well. The Lady Tigers host two big rivals in Georgetown College and Shawnee State the next two Thursdays before traveling to Pikeville to end the regular season next Saturday.
 
First up, Campbellsville and Georgetown meet on Thursday, Feb. 14 at 6 p.m. ET in the Powell Athletic Center. Coverage begins on the CU Sports Network starting at 5:45.
