The Cincinnati Bearcats women’s basketball team will kick off its 2018-2019 campaign on Saturday at 12 PM, playing host to the Division II California (Pennsylvania) Vulcans in an exhibition contest.
This game will not only be the debut for Cincinnati’s new head coach, Michelle Clark-Heard, who transformed Western Kentucky into a mid-major power in recent years.
Saturday’s exhibition tilt will also be the Bearcats’ home debut at the newly renovated Fifth Third Arena, which has received more than $87 million in upgrades in the past 20 months.
It will be interesting to see how this Bearcats team responds to the significant roster losses it faces from last season.
