FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – The Nova Southeastern women's basketball team continues on the road this weekend as it heads to Melbourne, Fla. to take on the Florida Tech Panthers on Saturday at 2:00 p.m.
 
On Wednesday evening, the No. 22 Sharks won their fifth straight contest, 71-46 over Barry. For the third game in a row, Christen Prasse topped all Sharks in scoring with 15 points, her fifth double-digit scoring effort of the season, which is a team-best. Prasse also added eight rebounds and a game-high seven assists. Maria Bardeeva and Megan Piggott joined Prasse in double-digit figures, each putting up 11 points apiece.
