Three battling for ACCAC women's basketball title

  Three teams are battling for the ACCAC women's basketball title and all three have played a wildly-different amount of games.

 Arizona Western (22-1, 11-1) has won 18 straight, but has played only 12 conference games. Meanwhile, Eastern Arizona (22-3, 13-3) has lost two more games, but has played four more than AZW. In the middle is Central Arizona (18-5, 11-3).
