This is the ninth meeting between the programs in the last 12 seasons with an even record at four wins each. However, in the last five contests UPIKE has put together a 5-1 record against Cumberland, all under third-year head coach Joanna McNamee. The Bears have also won two straight games at home as the only loss in the last five games against the Phoenix came in last season's Mid-South Conference Tournament. This will be the second straight NAIA top-25 matchup inside the East Ky. Expo Center.
