After winning the first three games of the series, North Texas has lost the last six games to Western Kentucky as they trail in the series 3-6. The Lady Toppers won the first matchup of the season in Bowling Green by 14-points. North Texas has played the Lady Toppers well at home having won two of the three meetings.
