After starting January with a 2-2 record that includes a home win over South Alabama and one on the road against Texas State, the women’s basketball team returned to the Holmes Convocation Center for a three-game home stand of Sun Belt matchups.

Before the stretch of home games got started, head coach Angel Elderkin said she was happy the team was back in Boone.

“The home games are really important and we have ‘the Arkansas’ coming in, which traditionally that’s where the Sun Belt has gone through,” Elderkin said.
