Sixth-year head coach Joe Legerski and the University of Wyoming Cowgirl basketball team will open up with their first practice of the 2008-09 season Saturday at 1 p.m., in the Arena Auditorium. Practice is open to the public.

Legerski returns one starter and eight letterwinners from last season’s NCAA Tournament squad, including senior Megan McGuffey and Third Team All-MWC selection Aubrey Vandiver.

The Cowgirls will continue on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday of the following week with practice from 1:30-4:00 p.m.

“We’ve had a great fall in the weight room,” said head coach Joe Legerski. “I’m excited to step on the floor for practice and see who emerges on this team.”

The Cowgirls will play two exhibition games on Nov. 4 and 7 before opening the regular season against the Denver Pioneers on Nov. 14, in Denver, before taking on the Montana Lady Griz on Nov. 16 in Missoula, Mont.. Their home opener will be Nov. 20 against the North Dakota Fighting Sioux. Wyoming will begin MWC play at home on Jan. 7 against the Utah Utes in a televised game on The Mountain Sports Network. Their first road conference game will be on Jan. 14, against the San Diego State Aztecs. In all, the Cowgirls will be featured four times on either The Mtn. or CBS C.
