Series History

• Harford will be looking for its 82nd win in a row against Maryland Junior College Conference opponents when they take on Baltimore City. The Fighting Owls last conference defeat came at the hands of the Lady Panthers on Dec. 2, 2014.
• The two teams have already met twice this year, with Harford defeating Baltimore City by 33 points in the regular season and by 37 in Maryland JUCO Conference Tournament, which took place just 12 days prior to Friday's showdown.

Fighting Owls at a Glance

• In just five seasons as the Fighting Owls head coach, Mike Seney has established himself as one of the premiere coaches across the NJCAA basketball landscape. His impeccable conference record, back-to-back NJCAA National Tournament appearances, and five consecutive Md Juco Tournament and Region XX titles have positioned him to go down as one of the all-time greats in Harford lore.
• Much of the Fighting Owls' success this season can be attributed to forward Dahnye Redd. The redshirt-sophomore sensation is third amongst NJCAA Div. I players in rebounding (13.6 rbg) with a few reigns as the nation's leading score as well (22.3 ppg.).
• Jewel Porter, Elaija DeMeza and Janiece Loney also return from last year's 27-3 squad to give them one of the more experienced teams in the conference.
• Ayanna Mazyck, Shawkina Mulazim, Ariana Fleming and Alexus King have all been welcomed additions to the Harford offense this season, which currently sits second amongst all NJCAA Div. I programs in scoring (93.3 ppg.).
• The Fighting Owls defense has shined throughout the season. The ladies in blue rank third in the NJCAA in steals (17.7 spg.) while giving up the second-fewest points per game (49.4).

Lady Panthers at a Glance

• Baltimore City witnessed a changing of the guard during the offseason, with head women's basketball coach and athletic director Tara A. Owens moving on to take over the Central State University athletics program.
• The new-look Lady Panthers are led by Felicia Hardy, who guided the team to an 18-10 record in her first season. Hardy's team has struggled away from home this season, tallying just a 6-6 record on the road.
• Sophomore's Raelyn Muldrow (14.4 ppg) and Vivian Chigbu (11.1 ppg) lead the charge on offense for Baltimore City, which is averaging 70.8 points per contest.
• The Lady Panthers have been strong on defense this season as well. They're allowing opponents to score just 55.4 points per game while blocking a conference-leading 4.8 shots over their 19 games played this season.
