It would put the Cowgirls in the same side of the bracket as Mississippi College...Junior point guard Sarah Hauk will miss the rest of the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament. She tore it against Sul Ross State. Rachel Cisneroz replaced her in the starting lineup on Saturday and had a career-best eight assists...HSU was ranked fourth in the first south region rankings of the year last week, but four of the top five teams in the rankings lost...Melissa Henley is closing in on 1,000 career points with 912.
