The DePaul women’s basketball team opened up their season at the tenth annual Maggie Dixon Classic by defeating Appalachian State 99-58.
“I just want to make sure we remember Maggie on this day,” coach Doug Bruno said. “That’s a young women we’re never going to forget (and) the Maggie Dixon Classic is never going away at DePaul.”
The DePaul women had a slow start to the game, but only by their standards. After a couple back-and-forth possessions the Blue Demons set the pace for the game. A pace Appalachian State could not keep up with. DePaul led 30-5 at the end of the first.
