Fresh off a big win over Saint Leo Thursday, the Clark Atlanta Lady Panthers are back on the court today for another big game, this time at No. 14 Lee University at 6 p.m.
The game will streamed live at

The Lady Panthers (1-2) go their first win of the season Thursday when they held on to defeat Saint Leo 62-59. Now they face a Lee team that is 3-0 with wins over Saint Leo, Florida Southern and Wednesday against Trevecca Nazarene.
Last season, Clark Atlanta battled Lee hard early in L.S. Epps Gymnasium, but faded in the second half as they fell 66-53.
Nailah-Mawusi Mitchell had 16 points in that win while
Reagan Jackson added 11.
The Flames are led by a trio who have averaged double-digit scoring in their first three games – Abby Betram (15.7 points per game), Camryn Grant (11 points per game), and Haley Schubert (10.7 points per game). Lindsey Roddy and Grant lead the Flames in rebounding with 5.7 per game each, while Bertram has grabbed 5.3 boards per game.
The Lady Panthers also have three players scoring in double figures – Jackson (12.7 points per game),
Lakashia Hill (11.5 points per game in two games), and
Autum Morings (10 points per game in two games). Jackson, a preseason All-SIAC pick and last year's SIAC Freshman of the Year, had 22 points and a big 3-pointer and two free throws Thursday that sealed CAU's win over Saint Leo.
After tonight's game, the Lady Panthers are off until next Saturday, Nov. 23 when they visit Augusta University at 1:30 p.m.
