BABSON PARK, Fla. (December 2, 2020) – For its second game in a row, the Webber International University women's basketball team will play at home in The Sun Conference Women's Basketball Game of the Week. This time around, the Warriors will host the Bobcats of St. Thomas University at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, December 3, inside the Sabbagh Athletic Center.

Webber has kicked off its 2020-21 season with five straight wins to start the year. Each win so far this season for Webber has been by at least 12 points, including a 78-49 win over Thomas University two weeks ago (Nov. 19) in the TSC Game of the Week to move the Warriors to 2-0 in conference play so far.

St. Thomas, meanwhile, is the only other undefeated team in The Sun Conference other than the Warriors, checking in at 3-0 overall and 1-0 in conference play after defeating Florida Memorial University 83-78 on the road its last time out back on November 14.

"I think this game is our biggest test of the year this far," said Webber's Head Coach Grady Morrell. "St. Thomas has very good guard play and tough post players. I can't wait to see who we are on Thursday."
