BARBOURVILLE, Ky. - Riding a three-game win streak and in a tie for first place in the Appalachian Athletic Conference, Union College seeks to continue its roll as the Lady Bulldogs prepare to host Covenant (Ga.) College Saturday at 4 p.m.

Union is tied with Milligan (Tenn.) College for first in the AAC as each owns an 11-4 conference record. The Lady Bulldogs are 19-8 overall and posed to record back-to-back 20-win seasons for the first time in program history. Union went 25-9 in 2007-08.

Covenant currently sits sixth in the conference standings at 14-12 overall and 8-7 in league play.

Union is on a three-game win streak, and during that stretch, junior Brooke Smith (Pineville, Ky.) has come up huge as she has recorded a double-double in each game. The 6-foot forward/center is averaging 26 points and 11.7 rebounds over the last three games.

In their last game, the Lady Bulldogs used a late rally to pull out a 70-63 decision at Tennessee Wesleyan College. Smith and Ashley Lunsford (Orlando, Ky.) each recorded a double-double.

Smith posted her seventh of the season with a game-high 28 points and 10 rebounds. Smith also made 10-of-11 free throws. Lunsford chipped in 19 points and 12 rebounds for her fifth double-double of the year.
