ATLANTA – The Georgia State women's basketball team (9-15, 4-8 SBC) continues its three-game road swing with a trip to West Virginia to take on the Marshall Thundering Herd (20-6, 10-3 SBC). The Panthers and Herd are set to tip off on Thursday, Feb. 12 at 6:00 p.m. ET inside Cam Henderson Center.  

SERIES HISTORY 
Georgia State trails Marshall in the all-time series, holding a 2-5 record across seven meetings dating back to Nov. 30, 1991. The Panthers earned the most recent victory on Feb. 28, 2025, edging the Thundering Herd 70-68 on the road in Huntington, W.Va., to snap a three-game losing streak in the series and claim their first win over Marshall since the 2022-23 season. The Panthers are 1-3 in Atlanta and 1-2 on the road in Huntington, with five of the seven meetings decided by single digits, including Georgia State's narrow victories by two points in 2025 and one point in 2023. 

BETWEEN THE LINES 
Marshall enters Thursday's matchup riding strong momentum, holding a 20-6 overall record and a 10-3 mark in Sun Belt play while sitting on a three-game winning streak. The Thundering Herd have been especially tough at home inside the Cam Henderson Center, posting an 11-2 record, and have shown balance away from Huntington with seven road wins on the season. Marshall is led by Sun Belt standout Timaya Lewis-Eutsey, who earned her third conference honor of the year and continues to rank among the nation's elite, becoming one of just six players in Division I with five 30-point performances this season. Her most recent outing placed her alongside Notre Dame All-American Hannah Hidalgo as the only players this year to record at least 35 points and eight steals in a single game. In league play, Lewis-Eutsey paces the Sun Belt in scoring (21.0), assists (5.4) and steals (3.4) 

CRYSTAL CLEAR 
Junior leader Crystal Henderson was named to the 2025-26 Preseason All-Sun Belt Second Team following a stellar 2024-25 campaign. Henderson started all 33 games for the Panthers, leading the team in assists (128, 3.9 pg), steals (79, 2.4 pg), minutes played (1,163, 35.2 pg) and assist-to-turnover ratio (1.42). She finished second on the team in scoring with 379 points (11.5 ppg) and recorded 20 double-digit games, including four 20+ point performances. Henderson led the Sun Belt in minutes per game, ranked second in the conference in steals and steals per game, and finished fourth in assists and assist-to-turnover ratio.  

Henderson was also named 2023-24 Sun Belt Freshman of the Year after leading all Sun Belt freshmen in scoring, steals and assists, and finishing top five in assists among all freshmen in the NCAA during the 2023-24 season. Henderson's honors marked the third Freshman of the Year honors in program history, and the first since the 2016-17 season.  

SUN BELT DOMINANCE  
The Panthers continue to assert their presence within the Sun Belt. Georgia State ranks first in the league in free throws made per game (15.13) and second in turnovers forced per contest (20.75), while also sitting third in steals per game (11.8). Offensively, Crystal Henderson anchors the Panthers' attack, ranking third in the Sun Belt in total points (395) and points per game (16.5), while placing fourth in field goals made (141). Henderson also sits fifth in total assists (96) and sixth in assists per game (4.0), while contributing defensively with ninth-place marks in steals per game (2.04) and total steals (49). Morgan Robinson-Nwagwu adds efficiency at the line, ranking ninth in the conference in free throw percentage (76.8%). 

FRESH FACES 
Georgia State welcomes six new faces to the roster for 2025-26, including two freshmen and four transfers ready to make an impact. Freshmen Savannah Robinson-Holmes and Grace Lanier bring youthful energy and potential, while transfers Ana Luiza Ramos Pires (Garden City CC), Nari Powers (Salt Lake CC), Ari Dyson (Trinity Valley CC), and ACC Power Four standout Gabbie Grooms brings collegiate experience and depth to bolster the Panthers' lineup. 

SO INTERNATIONAL  
Georgia State's roster features international flare with Finland native Monna Julkunen and Ana Luiza Ramos Pires from São Paulo, Brazil. A returning sophomore, Julkunen brings experience in Blue and White after appearing in 24 games last season. Pires joins the Panthers as a transfer from Garden City Community College, where she started nearly every game over two seasons.  

HOLLOMAN HONORS  
Graduate student Cheyenne Holloman was named a 2026 Kay Yow Servant Leader Award recipient, recognizing her dedication to service and leadership beyond the court. Presented by the Kay Yow Cancer Fund, the award honors collegiate athletes who exemplify the values of legendary NC State coach Kay Yow, whose legacy continues through the fund's mission to advance cancer research and support women impacted by the disease. 

HISTORIC SEASON OPENER 
Georgia State opened the season in historic fashion Monday night, defeating Oglethorpe 108-59 at the GSU Convocation Center. The performance ranked third all-time in GSU history for both steals (26) and points (108) in a single game, marking one of the most dominant outings in program history. 

SINCE '08 
Crystal Henderson lit up the court in Georgia State's season opener against Oglethorpe, pouring in 24 points. That performance marks the first time since 2008 that a player has scored 24 or more points in a GSU season opener. 

LANIER LEGACY  
Grace Lanier etched her name into the record book with a standout performance against the FIU Panthers. The freshman posted her first collegiate double-double and shattered the GSU single-game steals record with 10 steals. She surpassed the previous mark of nine, set by Jylisa Williams against Delaware State on Dec. 21, 2008.
