“We have put together a non-conference schedule that we know will help us to prepare for the tough Ohio Valley Conference slate that we have ahead,” said USI Women’s Basketball Head Coach Rick Stein. “Trying to find the balance of home and away games was not any easy task this first year, but I am definitely excited to play four of our first five Division I games at Screaming Eagle Arena and give our fans an early chance to see our team compete.”
