For Immediate Release: Tuesday, November 20, 2001 LADY BRONCS TO EMBARK ON
ROAD TRIP
EDINBURG, TX-The University of Texas-Pan
American’s women’s basketball team will hit the road for the first
time when they begin a four-game road trip at Texas-El Paso Wednesday
evening. Game time Wednesday is 8:00 at the Don Haskins Center. UTPA will take an 0-2 record into the game, having
dropped both games last weekend in the Lady Bronc Classic at the UTPA
Fieldhouse. The Lady Broncs lost to Arkansas-Little Rock and Southeast
Missouri State last weekend. UTEP was 8-20 last season. This season, the Lady
Miners are 0-1, having dropped their opener to Southwest Texas State, 71-55,
last Friday evening. “At this point, we have to worry about what
we’re doing, and not so much about what other people are doing,”
said UTPA Head Coach Karin Nicholls. “We improved from the first game
to the next. Our defense has to improve. I think that offensively, our
decision-making has to continue to improve. We’re playing a team
that’s also rebuilding, and even though we’re on the road, both
teams need to win. We want to work harder every game, continue to
improve, and continue to gain confidence.” The Lady Broncs will continue their road trip with a trip to Loyola of Chicago and Chicago State Sunday and Tuesday, and will visit Lamar December 1st before returning home to play UTEP December 4th. WBB-05-01 112101 |
