The month of January closes with teams facing opponents from the opposite division on Thursday and Saturday (Jan. 25, 27), including matchups between the top three Lone Star Conference squads. League-leading UT Tyler and second-place Texas Woman's each play at third-place Lubbock Christian—UTT on Thursday and TWU on Saturday—with stops at West Texas A&M.
The four northeastern-most LSC teams lock horns as West Division Cameron and Midwestern State make road trips to East Division Oklahoma Christian and UAFS. St. Edward's and St. Mary's head to UT Permian Basin and Angelo State with both Western and Eastern New Mexico playing at Texas A&M International and Texas A&M-Kingsville.
