MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The University of Memphis women's basketball team will make its way east this week to take on Charlotte Wednesday evening before facing off against East Carolina Saturday afternoon.

Charlotte (13-11, 6-6 AAC) is coming off its second-consecutive loss following a 70-56 defeat at East Carolina. The 49er's saw a 17-7 deficit after the first 10 minutes and would not be able to recover from there.
For the season, Dazia Lawrence leads the team with 17.7 points per game with Tracey Hueston adding in 12.9. On the boards, Keanna Rembert and Jacee Busick have cleaned up with a combined 241 rebounds for Charlotte.
