A&T women basketball team eyeing season opener

GREENSBORO, North Carolina - The A&T women’s basketball team, a program that has put together four 20-win seasons in six years, will open its 2013-14 season in Hamden, Conn., Nov. 8 against Quinnipiac.

The game is part of the Preseason Women’s NIT. The winner would face the Loyola (Ill.)-Louisville winner in the second round on Nov. 10. Louisville reached the NCAA championship game last season.

Semifinals are Nov. 14, and the final is Nov. 17. Teams that lose in the first two rounds will play consolation games Nov. 15-16.

A&T’s first home game will be Nov. 21 against Davidson. A&T’s conference schedule includes the return of Hampton, the four-time defending MEAC champion. The Pirates and Aggies finished 1-2 in the conference last season but have not played each other since Jan. 17, 2011. The two teams will play at Hampton on March 6.
