UNCG women’s basketball team announces 2007-08 schedule
GREENSBORO, NC – UNC Greensboro
women’s basketball head coach Lynne Agee announced Tuesday
her team’s schedule for the upcoming 2007-08 season,
featuring 15 home games and match-ups with ACC powers North
Carolina State and Duke.
UNCG will participate in two mid-season tournaments again this
season. The Spartans will host the annual UNCG Thanksgiving
Tournament on Nov. 23 and 24 in Fleming Gymnasium. UNCG welcomes
Boston University, UNC Asheville and cross-town rival North
Carolina A&T to the holiday tournament.
The Spartans will then head to Orlando, FL, to take part in the
University of Central Florida Holiday Classic on December 19 and
20. UNCG will take on LaSalle on Dec. 19 and host Central Florida
on Dec. 20.
The Spartans will play an exhibition with Division II St. Paul. St.
Paul is coached by former Spartan Serena King-Coleman, while former
Spartan ChoRhonda Gwaltney serves as an assistant. That game will
be played on Nov. 2 at Fleming.
Nine days later, UNCG heads to Raleigh for its regular-season
opener against NC State on Nov. 11. UNCG opens its home schedule
two days later when they host Liberty on Nov. 13 and will also host
Atlantic 10 foe Charlotte on Nov. 28.
“This is an ambitious, competitive schedule,” Agee
said. “We are anxious to begin our preparation for an
exciting Southern Conference race, as usual.”
In addition, the Spartans will host nine Southern Conference games
at Fleming Gym and will travel to High Point and Longwood in early
December.
Another highlight will be a trip to Durham to take on Duke. The
Blue Devils are coming off a 32-2 record last season and finished
the regular-season first in the ACC with a perfect 14-0 league
slate. Duke became the first ACC school to go undefeated during the
regular-season with a 29-0 record heading into the conference
tournament.
“This year's team success will be greatly influenced by five
returning seniors,” Agee said. “Strong leadership
should come from this year’s senior class. We have the
makings of a very successful team and we look forward to the
challenge that this season brings.”
UNCG returns 10 players from last year’s squad led by
all-conference selection Kristen Boone. The Spartans finished the
year with a 21-10 record and a fourth-place finish in the regular
season standings with a 13-5 league slate.
Season tickets go on sale Sept. 11. Single-game sales will be
available Oct. 11. For more information, contact the UNCG ticket
office at (336)-334-3250.
