The women’s basketball
team’s persistence has been tested so far this season, but the team will get
the chance to show what it’s learned at a home game Thursday, Dec. 4, at Garvey Physical Education Center.
The Falcons will
host Ottawa University. Tipoff is at 6 p.m.
The women are 2-7
going into tonight’s game, but they’re not concerned with their slow start.
Head coach Gayla Soyez purposely schedules tough opponents for early season
nonconference games to help her team prepare for the season.
“The losses help
us prepare for what’s coming,” junior guard Stacie Bell said.
Leading the
Falcons is Jenny Urban, the lone senior on the squad.
“It all starts
tonight,” Urban said. “We are just ready to start playing the games that
count.”
As the Falcons
turn their backs to preseason and focus on upcoming league play, the opposition
won’t get any easier. Ottawa and Southwestern College, whom the Falcons play on
Saturday, are returning two players who score over 10 points a game.
“It doesn’t matter
who we play, we know we can win,” Urban said.
