WVU Women’s Basketball Announces Non Conference Schedule

With the next college basketball season on the horizon, the WVU women’s basketball program announced their non conference schedule.

“This offseason, we have continued to build off the momentum of last year,” said head coach Mark Kellogg in the press release. “The foreign trip this summer to Italy and Croatia allowed us to start team practices earlier than normal and give us a head start on preparations for this upcoming schedule.

Kellogg then described what fans can expect see from his team as they hope to build off the success of last season.

“We will play a great mix of exciting home games, a true road game at Temple and a tournament in Florida over Thanksgiving against quality opponents. The goal is always to prepare us for the Big 12 and establish a resume for postseason play,” he added.
