Women's Basketball
The nationally-ranked Ferris State women's basketball team bounced back for a decisive 84-63 league road win over Davenport on Saturday behind a 25-point performance from senior Chloe Idoni. The win came on the heels of a 63-38 GLIAC setback at second-ranked Grand Valley State on Thursday night. FSU is now 19-4 overall and 13-3 in the league heading into the final two games of the regular-season. Ferris State hosts Parkside on Thursday evening for Faculty/Staff Appreciation Night at 5:30 pm and then hosts Purdue Northwest for Senior Day on Saturday at 1 pm. The Bulldogs have clinched a GLIAC Tourney quarterfinal-round home game on Wednesday, March 6.
Men's Basketball

FSU owns a 20-7 overall mark and is 10-6 in the GLIAC. The 20 wins represents the ninth consecutive full season in which the Bulldogs have recorded 20 wins or more. Ferris State plays host to Parkside on Thursday night at 7:30 pm and takes on Purdue Northwest for Senior Day on Saturday at 3 pm. FSU needs a single win to clinch a quarterfinal-round home game as one of the top four seeds for the GLIAC Tournament on Wednesday, March 6.
