TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - First-year head coach Teri Moren and her women's basketball coaching staff have announced today that an additional home game has been added to the 2010-11 regular season schedule. The Sycamores will host the University of Tennessee at Martin on Sunday, Nov. 14, with tipoff set for 2:05 p.m. at Hulman Center, one of two meetings this season with the Skyhawks.
The game was agreed upon after UT-Martin had a scheduling conflict. Indiana State had an open nonconference date available and the two schools were able to come to an agreement. ISU and UT-Martin will meet twice this season and again in 2011-12 and 2012-13.
"Obviously, it came about late, but it's another opportunity to play at home early in the season," said head coach Moren. "I'm mostly excited for the fans, who will have another opportunity to watch us play at home, now on both Friday night and Sunday afternoon on the opening weekend of the season. This game will also give us two games before we travel to Kansas State."
Season tickets are now on sale for the 2010-11 home season of Indiana State women's basketball, and can be purchased by calling the Hulman Center Ticket Office at 812-237-3737. Fans that have already purchased their season tickets, or do so by the Big Blue Block Friday, Oct. 15, will receive the ticket to the UT-Martin home game for no additional cost. Those purchasing season tickets after the Big Blue Block Party will have the opportunity to purchase a ticket for the added home game for an additional $5.
The ISU women's basketball schedule now features a total of 17 home games from November through February, with eight non-conference matchups and nine in Missouri Valley Conference action.
Indiana State will begin their 2010-11 campaign on the weekend of November 5-7, with a pair of exhibition games. ISU will host Bellarmine on Friday, Nov. 5, at 7:05 p.m. before going up against Missouri - St. Louis on Sunday, Nov. 7, at 2:05 p.m.
