COACH DEBRA CLARK

NORFOLK, Virginia  -- Head coach Debra Clark and the Norfolk State women's basketball team released their 2013-14 schedule. NSU will host 14 home games at Joseph Echols Hall in addition to participating in two-day tournaments hosted by Texas San Antonio and James Madison University.

"I'm very excited to have the opportunity to play 14 games home this season," said Clark. "We also play a very competitive non-conference schedule which I feel will prepare us for the tough competition we will face in the MEAC."
