Historically, the teams have faced each other frequently, having played 15 times in the last 19 seasons, with Presbyterian winning the last encounter. Former Furman head coach Stacey Johnson-Whitfield now serves as the Blue Hose's Associate Head Coach. Meanwhile, the Paladins are in a rebuilding phase after a tough start to the season.
