LEWISTON, Idaho – Lewis-Clark State's women's basketball team is looking to avenge a couple of road losses when the Warriors take on Rocky Mountain College at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at the Activity Center and Carroll College Saturday at 2 p.m.
 
The No. 23-ranked Warriors (3-3 Frontier Conference, 12-5 overall) are doing it with an injury-depleted team, while the 18^th-ranked Bears (4-2, 14-2) come to town with one of the NAIA's top defensive teams. Rocky used that defense to contain the Warriors when the teams met two weeks ago at Billings (a 62-54 Rocky victory). Carroll is ranked No. 10 nationally and is tied with Providence for the league lead with a 5-1 mark heading into Thursday's games.
 
Rocky's scoring defense is ranked first in NAIA at 46.75 points per game and field goal defense (.319) with its scoring margin (+24.81) third. The Warriors counter with the league's top scoring offense (77.47) and one of the best shooting teams – first in free throw percentage (.752) and field goal percentage (.445).
 
The Warriors have five players with double-figure scoring averages – Lauren Johnson (10.2), Brittany Tackett (10.2), Peyton Souvenir (10.1), Jossilyn Blackman (10.0) and Jansen Edmiston (10.0). Blackman also is the Warriors' rebound leader with 6.41 per game, while true freshman Peyton Souvenir not only leads the Warriors in assists (4.59) but the Frontier Conference as well.
