Women's schedule released

On the women's side, first-year head coach Jody Adams' team will be tested early and often in its 2008-09 women's basketball schedule, featuring 17 home games and three contests against NCAA Tournament opponents last season.

"This schedule will tell us where we stand from the first game." Adams said. "To open the season by taking on a Mountain West opponent and then turn around and face three-straight postseason teams is going to be tough, but I am sure our team will be up for the challenge. We have a great mix of opponents early on, which will help our team prepare for the conference schedule which will be difficult as usual."
