Cowgirls to begin practice on Saturday

Seventh year head coach Joe Legerski and the University of Wyoming Cowgirl basketball team will practice for the first time Saturday at 9 a.m., in the Arena Auditorium. Practice is open to the public.

Legerski returns three starters and nine letterwinners from last season’s squad, including Second Team All-MWC selection Hillary Carlson, Sixth Player of the Year honoree Emma Langford, plus Kristen Scheffler and Aubrey Vandiver. Wyoming was recently picked fifth in the MWC Pre-Season Poll.

The Cowgirls will continue on Sunday at the same time while Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of the following week practice will be from 1:30-4 p.m.

Wyoming will play two exhibition games on Nov. 2 and Nov. 6 before opening the regular season against the Denver Pioneers on Nov. 13, in Denver. Their home opener will be on Nov. 15 against the Montana Lady Griz. Wyoming will begin MWC play on the road Jan. 5 against the Colorado State Rams in a televised game on The Mountain Sports Network. Their first home conference game will be on Jan. 13, against the TCU Lady Frogs. In all, the Cowgirls will be featured four times on The Mtn. Sports Network.

Wyoming will hold their annual media day next Tuesday in the Arena Auditorium beginning at 1 p.m. Cowgirl players and coaches will be available.
