On the day that happened to be the first snowfall of the year, the women’s basketball team tipped-off their season with a matchup against the University of Northern Colorado Bears who defeated the Demons 94-88. The starters announced to the crowd at McGrath-Phillips Arena matched the starters brought out in the exhibition against Saint Xavier: Ashton Millender, Amarah Coleman, Mart’e Greys, Kelly Campbell and Tanita Allen.
DePaul won the tip and pushed up court to Greys who took a three 14 seconds into the game. The shot was off, but Coleman grabbed the offensive board, missed a shot of her own then got the third one to go to open the scoring in the Blue Demons’ favor.
