PHILADELPHIA - The Xavier University women's basketball team is set to battle La Salle on Saturday, February 23.  Game time is set for 1 p.m. at Tom Gola Arena and fans can follow the action live via internet radio broadcast right here on GOXAVIER.com.

Xavier is in a tie for first place in the league with a 9-2 record in Atlantic 10 play and the team is fresh off a 65-42 thumping of Fordham on Wednesday.  La Salle has won its last three games and senior guard Carlene Hightower is averaging 30 points per game over that stretch. 

10-time Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week Ta'Shia Phillips tallied her 15^th double-double of the season against the Rams with a 19-point, 10-rebound effort.  Those 15 double-doubles are the most by any freshman in the country.
