COLUMBUS, Ind. - The IU Kokomo Women's Basketball team completed the season sweep of RSC West division foe IU Columbus Tuesday night, cruising to a 66-40 road win. The victory moves the Cougars into a tie for fourth in the division with SMWC, with the top four teams from each division advancing to the RSC Championship.

IU Kokomo and Saint Mary-of-the-Woods share identical conference records of 6-9, and the two squads are set to lock horns this Saturday in the regular season finale. The winner of Saturday's contest will claim the RSC West's fourth seed and a spot in a River States Conference Championship Quarterfinal next Wednesday.
